As national lockdowns continue into the New Year, many of our children and family's oversea remain incredibly concerned with the threat of malnutrition, starvation as well as Covid-19. So still in January we are focusing our efforts on maintaing our support in providing emergency coronavirus releif to our projects around the world.
This is not to say we haven't passed some positive milestones since our last report. Indeed, in August our Kenyan DigiBus became fully operational and open to children of the Kibera slum. Fitted with Covid misting systems, tables, laptops, and CCTV security cameras, we have loved been able to welcome small groups of children onboard the bus, in a Covid safe environment. After the success of this bus, we have also begun plans for our second DigiBus, this time for children in South Africa. You can see more about this campaign here: https://www.atlasfrc.org/news/atlas-digibus-for-south-africa
In recent months, we have also hosted our first successful online event with Nick Mallet, Matt Pearce and Gavin Hastings. It was a clash of commentators, with fantastic prizes, special guest call-ins, Q and A's and lots of fundraising for our children in South Africa. Plans are now underway for our next online event so we can continue to advance education and opportunity through rugby.
