Hello Friends,
After what has been a 6-month operational pause for All Hands and Hearts, I have some great news to share with you about the work that has been going on “behind the scenes” in the Philippines. Though we could not engage our volunteers and a full team of staff during the pandemic on this program, we have been able to receive some incredible support from a small team of locally based AHAH staff and masons to continue construction at Dadda and Agani elementary schools.
This small team has faced a number of challenges along the way, including extreme shortages in materials, but they have continued with optimism and are still on track to finish both schools relatively close to our originally projected completion date. Now, the team is working with local community members to design a drainage solution for Dadda elementary because part of the school structure sits at the bottom of a small valley. We hope to complete both schools by the end of October. As the year comes to a close, our team will start identifying where we could begin a “Phase Two” of school rebuilds next year, returning even more kiddos back to safe spaces where they can learn and grow!
Thank you for following our progress - I look forward to updating you again soon!
