1) You are amazing: thanks to your support we were able to save the Murakaza school. We have now almost completed the construction works for the classrooms, kitchen area and teachers' accommodations. The only things left to build are the toilets and showers. This should be done before Christmas.
2) You went above and beyong: not only did you allow us to rebuild the school, but thanks to the ongoing support of our direct debit donors, we are able to ensure that the children continue to have a safe place to learn and play every day. Your contributions help pay for the teachers salary, notebooks, pencils, chalk, etc. Because a school isn't just a building, it couldn't function without all these other things. £12 a month could help cover some of these essential expenses.
3) You give us a purpose: sometimes it feels really hard to keep going despite the adversities, especially in a place like Burundi where the situation has been particularly difficult over the past two years. Francoise, the director of CAPE, insists that the moral support is almost as important as the financial one. Knowing that people like you care is sometimes the little bump of motivation we need when everything else seems bleak.
We couldn't do what we do without you. We hope you know how important you are to us and to the children we serve at the Murakaza school.
Keep being awesome!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
