Since the reporting of the selection of 5 children from refugees settlements in Burkina Faso, the school year 2020-2021 has started.
61 children (30 girls and 31 boys) have syarted this new school year on September 12th. They are between 11 and 14 years old.
The first week of the 1st year is an introduction week with a lot of playful activities: games, theatre… We are trying to homogenize the group which, even if they have a common background of poor farmer families, are from quite a few different ethnic groups. Something new this year: 5 new 1st year students (4 boys and 1 girl) coming from refugees settlements in Burkina.
During the second week, students spend a lot of time in the fields harvesting the cultures made during the rainy season.
We will keep working with the UNHCR in Burkina Faso to help children from refugees settlements to access a quality education. The microproject we had set up has been replaced with a permanent project.
We would like to thank all donors for their support. We were able to collect over 6.000 US$ in a very short time and we are very grateful.
We are sure that you will keep supporting this project and access the global Giving platform at project 49292.
