Thanks in part to your generous donations the students at Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School (BLIS) have had a very enjoyable second half of their school year.  

On March 28, the secondary school students had their first ever social. There were lots of activities including sugar race, bag race, blind shooting, relay running, singing, dancing and ballet. The day ended with awards for the winners and light refreshments.

Your continued support is enabling students, like Saffie and Mohamed, to complete their education. Saffie received financial support and school supplies for class 5 (or 5th grade).  She enjoys social studies and hopes to become a nurse when she grows up.   Mohamed, who is also in class 5,  received financial support and school supplies for this school year as well.  His favorite subject is mathematics and he hopes to become a teacher when he grows up. 

Poverty prevents millions of Nigerian youths from going to college. Thanks to your generous support a scholarship was awarded to Chiamaka through our partner organization in Nigeria, S.M.I.L.E. 

She tells us in her own words how much this scholarship meant to her.

Thanks in part to your support 30 students received school supplies at the UMC Primary School George Brook Dwarzark.  You can see photos in the album here.

Thanks in part to your ongoing support, the staff and students were able to move into their new school building in January. A week prior to the opening of the new building, the principal, teachers and other staff members transported and unpacked supplies at the school.  It was a time of sheer excitement for all involved.  During the first week of classes at the new school, the pupils drew their favorite pictures on the classroom walls as seen in the photo album

We greatly appreciate your support that provided students in Sierra Leone with a new solar light, making studying at night possible. These solar lights are providing safe, renewable, and environmentally friendly lighting and they eliminate the unsafe and hazardous Kerosene lanterns that have caused fires, damage, and even deaths.

Thank you for your continued support that has helped provide solar lights to students with no electricity.   Most of these students had to rely on dangerous kerosene lamps to study at night, but now have a safe and reliable source of light through solar powered lights.  The students were each very appreciative to receive a solar light. 

We are excited to share that thanks in part to your generous support we shipped out 20 drums full of school supplies to Cameroon this week.

Thanks to your support, more students in Nigeria are getting the opportunity to get the education they need.  You are helping build successful future leaders.  One of the future leaders that you have helped is John.  John is from a very large family who did not have the financial ability to send him to college. 

Through our partner organization in Nigeria, S.M.I.L.E, we are supporting a student called John. John tells us in his own words how he was able to attend college thanks to the financial support he received.
