Dear Friends and Supporters,
In November classes were put on hold again due to a high number of COVID-19 cases in the community, and last week, they could finally resume. In 2021 we expect cases to go down and with that volunteers will be able to visit again, to continue the teaching of art, music, drama, meditation, self-defence and to provide careers advice and counselling.
Thanks to your support we are creating educational opportunities for disadvantaged girls who are victims of violence and abuse, and are placed in harmful institutionalised care for their ‘protection’.
Sometimes, against all the odds, and with the worst possible start in life, they excel, and we are so pleased to share the news that Tharushi* has passed her GCE O’level with distinction, and completed her MS office and software technical knowledge qualification.
She dreams to further her education outside of the institution, and as she is now 18 years old, we plan to support ambitious girls like Tharushi* in 2021, in a safe transition home to empower, educate and elevate her into the workplace through an apprenticeship or job. At the same time, we are developing a foster care pilot, to place girls into loving families, so they can flourish in society, and begin the lives they deserve.
Thank you again for each of your donations and support.
Kind regards,
Joel
