I hope all is well with you. Thanks to your donations, our regular monthly donors, those getting involved in Charity Challenges this coming year and other fundraising events, the following is what we have planned for 2024 and how all your donations will make a huge difference to the communities where we work in Latin America.
In Ecuador we will pay for six local teachers in the school as we enter the second half of the school year in January. Four of these teachers are University students we are helping with their studies. We will continue to pay for internet in the school and essential materials each month as well as funding cultural celebrations.
Since we started our financial support for local University students studying teaching back in 2016 in exchange for them working in the school to ensure one teacher per class we have helped seven students with their long-term educational costs. Dozens of younger students have benefitted from them being in the classroom over the years receiving a dedicated education. We will continue with this successful programme this year.
The purchase of cows in Plan Moo will carry on during 2024 as we strive to sustainably cover some of the project's core costs so we can help out with more one-off critical projects in the community, similar to helping the family with their house in December, and also helping other communities over the coming years.
Plan Moo was resumed in December following the recent unprecedented dry-spell and work has begun on the house for the new family who arrived in the community recently with nothing as they used to live and work on a farm which stopped functionning and left them homeless. Thanks to donations we have brought the materials for the roof with the community getting together and buying the other materials. Kapak Raymi was celebrated in the school in December when the community asks Pachamama for a good growing period for the crops. The school restarts for the second half of the academic year next week.
All the best for 2024 and thank you in advance for your continued support during it!
Cheers
