Dear friends,
In 2022 we built a school in the displacement camp. Many of the children had not been to school for years due to the floods destroying their schools and the Covid pandemic halted schools from opening. When we started we had 50 students and 3 teachers. Today we have 235 students and 6 teachers. The photo shows one of the classrooms that the parents and teachers built. During the rainy season, which lasts for several months, the rain and winds will destroy it. We are trying to find the funds to build more permanent classrooms. At one time Mangalla had 13 primary schools. Ours is the only one still open. There are thousands of children in the camp who want to go to school, but we do not have the ability to do this.
We are thankful for your support in helping us provide a clinic for the medical needs of the families. We do not charge for these services. We have hundreds each week that visit the clinic. Your support is making a difference in the lives of these people who are dealing with so many challenges.
Sincerely and with joy,
Jacob
