Thanks to YOU, Thomasia has some of the funds she needs to start college in the fall.   She lost her mom in 2015 and has very limited access to financial assistance, making your support even more appreciated by Thomasia.  

Your generous support has provided school meals to 500 students at the Bitame Lucia School, which is located in a  rural area of Nkolfoulou.  Before the introduction of school meals in the school, there had been lots of absenteeism due to lack of food. Children also fell asleep in the classroom because they were hungry or sick. There were even several cases of food being stolen at school because those children had no food at home.
