Thank you for helping children and young people around the world!
Education programme at Stepping Stones, China
Thank you so much for supporting the children and young people at CHW's projects through our page on GlobalGiving! Below are some updates on the projects you have helped.
Food programmes in Ghana, Romania and South Africa
We are incredibly grateful that your donations could help the children and young people with food, which is such a basic and vital need.
Your contributions have helped two of our partner organisations which are involved with the distribution of food supplies. These are The Future Factory in South Africa and Refugiu in Romania.
The Future Factory, along with other organisations, helps to give food and meals to children and families in underprivileged areas across Cape Town.
Anne, the founder of The Future Factory expressed her gratitude for your help with "taking care of so many hungry and needy communities."
Refugiu regularly gives food supplies to families in two villages in Romania. Robert, the head of Refugiu, always reports back that he has been to give the food to the families each month and he says thank you to all who sponsor the supplies.
In addition to the usual food programmes that we support, four students being assisted by New Life in Ghana, also needed help with food supplies for the new semester and our supporters were able to help with this too.
Derrick, the director of New Life said that the students are happy to see this continued support from CHW, during their studies.
Education programme in China
Your contributions also helped with educational materials for Stepping Stones's programmes. This has been benefiting migrant children in Shanghai and children attending under-resourced schools in various provinces.
Teddy from Stepping Stones has let us know that more than 1,650 children are enrolled for the summer programme, which is currently taking place!
Teddy also said that on 29 and 30 June, Stepping Stones "held events such as volunteer exchange meetings, sessions for high school and university student volunteers, and new volunteer training for the summer."
The volunteers are using the teaching materials that our supporters have sponsored, which is making a real difference in these children's lives this summer!
Horse Assisted Therapy Project in Argentina
Over the past few years, CHW's supporters have sponsored sessions for a child with disabilities at our partner project in Argentina, which offers horse-assisted therapy programmes.
This year, your help is supporting an eight-year-old boy with Down Syndrome. His speech development has been delayed but he can now name the different parts of the horse and the horse-riding equipment! He is making great progress.
The founder of the project, Verónica, has thanked CHW's supporters for all their help over the years.
We thank each person who made it possible to support the children and young people at the different projects. Your help is making such a big difference in their lives.
