I hope all is well. It has been a great few months in the schools thanks to your donations as we continue to supply classroom materials to our four hundred primary school scholars as governmental supplies run out. The families simply don’t have the money to replace them and the children risk dropping out of school. Mother’s Day was celebrated in all the schools allowing our material scholarship students to really get involved.
Gaspar is continuing to visit remote communities around the lake to make sure we are reaching as many children in need as we can. He is also helping out in the classes. By being present regularly in all the schools where our scholarship students attend we can keep track of their progress.
Water is becoming ever more scarce in the communities where we work around the lake due to the changing and erratic climate. We are looking at maximising water harvesting in all the schools which we support to take advantage of the rains when they come.
The problem is compounded with years of under-investment in infrastructure and most families now collect their water from the lake, which is generally contaminated and unfit for drinking. We purchased water filters for one of the schools which we support and will aim to buy more for the other schools in the future.
Thank you so much for your continued support and we'll keep you posted in a couple of months.
Cheers
