I want to start off by thanking the 103 different donors who raised $38,524 for this project, "Start the Celebration by Giving an Education". Your support has been incredible!
To all of our donors, I want to give you a huge shout out, "We love you and we could not do this without you!".
Recurring donations help us to budget and are very much appreciated! As you can imagine, the costs of providing free, high quality Early Childhood Education to financially challenged families rise each year. Each year in late Winter, we begin dicussion about the next school year. Can we afford to add another class or do we need to drop a class? How can we continue to keep the school running? Recurring donations help us make necesary projections which inform these decisions.
One-time donations are much appreciated surprises. Sometimes these donations are thousands of dollars and sometimes they are smaller amounts. Any amount is much appreciated because it all adds up to more than just financial energy. When people give, there is a collective energy of humanity that builds momentum. When we reach out to help others, we spread love.
Speaking of love, take a look at these pictures of our latest graduates. These little ones started early childhood education with us as 3 year olds in 2019. They have grown so much! 40 graduates are now ready to enter 1st grade in Primary school. We have equipped them well with Social-emotional skills, academic skills, self-confidence and encouragement. Their families were supported through a world-wide crisis of the COVID 19 Pandemic and financial devastation.
Congratulations to our graduates! We wish the best for you and your families. You are all part of a global family and we will not forget you.
Thank you, our donors, you are part of a global family too.
This project, "Start the Celebration by Giving an Education" began in 2020 and will continue a while longer. Stay tuned for a new project for the 2022-2023 School year. We are hoping to bring back the daycare but it will take a lot of fundraising to open up just one class. Prayers, positive energy and financial support are much appreciated.
Muchisimas Gracias,
Tammy Kjos
