Greetings Friend!
This update is quite bittersweet, as it will be our final report on this incredibly impactful program. Though we had hoped to open a second school rebuild program in Mozambique this fall (following the phased conclusion of our operational pause in light of COVID-19), we have since determined we will not be able to do so. Still, we remain hopeful that we may someday be able to return. For now, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to you for helping make this work possible.
After our work in Mozambique began back in November, 244 volunteers from 23 nations joined us and dedicated themselves to rebuilding two disaster-resilient school campuses. Our volunteers were very close to completing the rebuild of Harrumua and Julius Nyerere Primary School campuses prior to our operational pause. Once we made sure everyone was safe, we brought in local contractors to complete the schools. Today, the campuses of both schools are new, beautiful, and secure. I had previously reported that this work would benefit 772 students, when in fact the impact of this effort will touch more than 951 students in the district of Nhamatanda. At Harrumua and Julius Nyerere Primary Schools, more than 2,174 students, over the next ten years, will directly benefit from safe places to learn.
Your generous support for this project has meant so much to us, and helped create such a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of children. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
