We hope all our partners and well-wishers had fantastic festive seasons. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all our supporters for this far we have come together. Thank you for walking this long and tough journey with us and making it successful throughout the year despite the many challenges that we had on our way. Our beneficiary students have had a smooth year and they remained in schools as we were in a position to pay their school fees and provide them with uniforms and they were not sent home for school fees. We are happy to report that our candidate sat for his final exams and the results were released just before Christmas but we are yet to receive his results which we are hoping will be impressing. We are proud of him and we will support him in his university studies. In the next report we will update on the results and the way forward. All the other beneficiaries were promoted to the next class and we are proud of them as they are performing very well. They have had enjoyable long December holiday and they are now preparing to report back to school for 1st term 2019. We intend to add more beneficiaries in 2019 who will join form one. Some of them performed well and secured positions in good boarding secondary schools but some parents and guardians cannot afford to take them to those boarding schools due to the required school fees and other admission requirements and they opt day schools which are less expensive. Some of them have approached us requesting for support and we hope to accommodate some of them. We are very greatful for the donations contributed during December holiday and thank GlobalGiving for money disbursement. We really appreciate as these donations and disbursements have come just the right time again we thank all those who generously contributed to this project. We will have a meeting next week and discuss with the students, parents and teachers who have requested for the support then we will decide how many more students we will accommodate in the program. The demand is high but unfortunately we cannot accommodate many due to the limited resources. We will select the beneficiaries depending on families’ vulnerability and the students’ performance in just released national examinations results. We will have a comprehensive report on this in the next reporting and we will update our donors on the progress. Together with beneficiaries, parents and guardians, we wish to take this opportunity to wish All a prosperous New Year 2019. May the year be filled with joy, love and good health and may your boundaries be extended as you receive more blessings and resources to continue sharing with the less privileged in our society. Thank you very much Happy Happy New Year 2019.
