Aid Children's Health & Education in 5 Countries

Thank you very much for your care and support for the children and young people at our projects. Your help is making such a positive difference for them!

Below are some updates from the projects that your donations have been supporting:

Assistance for students in Ghana

New Life, in Ghana, runs a centre, school and outreach programme. New Life has asked CHW for assistance for some of the young people who are currently studying. Over the past couple of months, your donations have helped with the cost of school items and basic needs of a teenage boy in Senior High School (the final three years of school in Ghana) and resources for two female students who are both in the first year of their studies. One is studying education to become a teacher and the other is studying fashion design.

As these young people are at a stage in their lives where they are self-conscious about having details about this assistance shared online, we have cropped some photos (so as not to include the students' faces), showing the food supplies received by a student and a laptop being given to a student.

Thank you very much for supporting these young people while they complete their education. This will enable them to have many more opportunities for the future.

Helping with safety and security at a school in Ghana

New Life's school needed to have a wall and security gate installed around its building and land, to ensure safety for the schoolchildren. We are grateful that your support helped to make this possible!

In a message from Derrick, the director of New Life, he wrote, "New Life is now secured with a gate. The children are safe all thanks to CHW... and all [supporters]."

Food for families in Romania

We are very thankful to all who make it possible to continue to support Refugiu's food distribution programme, serving children and their families in a village in Romania. Since the price of food has risen, we are grateful for all additional help to be able to keep this vital programme going.

Robert, the head of Refugiu, has said that the food is a big support for the families.

Educational materials for migrant children in China

As well as providing English classes and coding lessons to the children, a new programme has been launched, called Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

Miki from Stepping Stones gave an example of some outdoor activities arranged for the children in a local park, involving English lessons and SEL. She wrote:

"In the English-themed outdoor activity, [the children] were divided into groups and given a 'Colour Hunt' guide book. Children and volunteers set out on expeditions around the park in search of spring colours.

In the SEL outdoor activity, students learned about basic emotions and how to deal with the strong ones confidently. We talked about embarrassment and had a mindful walk in the park in small groups."

Your help is so wonderful for these children and young people. Thank you for the impact you are having in their lives.
