In addition to relentless support from our regular GlobalGiving donors, this quarter we had a wonderful adventure in Gongali village when the Seventh-day Adventists Youth from Arusha International SDA Church camped in Gongali for three days and donated solar lanterns to 108 children. It was a historical event for the village - everyone was so excited! The youth had an opportunity to interact with the community in the church in Gongali and thereafter by visiting the homes of all children who received the donation. We hope this new approach through church groups will be another breakthrough to provide solar lanterns to all children in under-served communities in Africa and elsewhere. The activity has also encouraged more local donors to go for extra mile. The SDA Church members in Arusha contributed to make the lanterns free to all 108 children. Each solar lantern was tagged with a name of the beneficiary. The photos for each group of beneficiaries was taken and shared with their donors via the church WhatsApp group.
With this report we re-instate our commitment to connect the donors and their beneficiaries. It is easy for us - just let us know how you would like to be connected with your beneficiaries. Eg. we can send you photos, videos, and anything else of your interest that is within our capacity.
ASANTENI SANA!
