Kids education for hope
We
are so delighted to finally be able to send you the pictures
We are so delighted to finally be able to send you the pictures and info of the children that you are supporting . We would like to apologize for the delay in sending this valuable information. It has been very slow gathering the information for us and taking pictures of most the children. We want to thank you for your patience and support. Please find the file here attached .
As we said in our previous newsletter we planned our trip to Ethiopia for the 20th of June. Due to personal circumstances we need to postpone our trip to October/November.
All the kids of education for hope are doing fine, only two of them dropped out of the programme but we replaced them with two new kids. The aim of our next trip is to gather more information and meet the families with their children again. As you can see from the file, the children are spread around the whole city. Our vision for the future is to centralize the children to one school.We have already selected one school and we will talk to the director about the possibility of turning this school to “education for hope school.”
As most of you already know, the school year is ending now and we need to know how many children we will be supporting in the year 2009-10. Please let us know if you can support us again. The annual fee is €70 per child. For our supporters who already sent us the money for the coming school year, thank you very much. Further, in our previous newsletter, we said we would have sent our annual financial balance. Our accountant is not ready with the official statement. However, we feel that it is very important for us to share with you the result of the previous year.
