We Are Almost There

I was just recently at Challenging Heights Hovde House and there has been so much progress on Phase 1 since I last checked in with you.
The Phase 1 is almost complete. We recently painted the exterior of the building with the help of visiting high school students from Colorado, USA. We are making a great progress with this wonderful project. The building is coming along well and the staff as well as the students are looking forward to the new additions.
Also, we received a donation of 24 IMacs from Castle View High School. The 24 computers are in the lab and being utilized by the students.
We're so excited to provide the children with a chance to learn 21st century skills, opening new doors and opportunities for their futures.
It's because of your support of this construction that these opportunities are becoming a reality. We're so grateful for your support, and we'll have more updates for you soon!
With gratitude,
Maitham Basha-Agha
