ChallengeAid are pleased to announce that the doors of St Benedict's School of Hope in Mathare were opened this week. Over 100 local young people, parents and the local community joined us on the day to hear about how the centre will work and to look at the resources and teaching aids on offer. Since embarking on our fundraising journey, the SoH committee have worked had to get everything ready, Volunteer Supervisors have undergone their training, resources have been purchased and tables made.
There was a real air of excitement at the centre during the launch with lots of happy young people keen to enrol and to start using the resources available. We are looking forward to the first full week of operation next week. Since we last got in touch, we have continued to raise funds for the School of Hope, after school study club and are now only £741 away from target. We couldn’t have done that without the 91 amazing donors who supported the project, so thank you all from all of us but especially from the young people of St Benedict's who'll be enjoying the School of Hope for many years to come.
Thank you all
