We were asked by the Tigray Regional Education Bureau to try to continue our assistance a little longer until the end of the harvest season, because the children in the area where we were helping would be in difficulty. So we decided to let the project on Global Giving run for a few more months. We were glad we did and we were able to sent another truckload with 160 cartons of high energy bisuits to the most affected school. We also made an extra donation of 186 notebooks, 320 pens and 84 markers.
The road to the school was inaccessible so, the students and teachers came out to the main road and carried the boxes back. They were all eager to help and they were so happy with the supplies.
Currently the harvest time is over and in most areas they have had a good harvest. We have decided to officially close the project as no further assistance is required at this time due to an excellent harvest.
With your assistance a total of 13,607 school children have benefitted from the nutritional support which has consisted of: 2151 cartons of High Energy biscuits, 138 tubs of 1 kg peanut butter.
The children have benefitted by the provision of energy to sustain them to, through and from school.
The schools have benefitted tremendously by seeing an increased attendance rate and a higher performance rate due to the high energy bisuits and peanutbutter.
We want to say thank you to all our donors on Global Giving who have helped us in an amazing way. It has been such a blessing for Abraham's Oasis to reach out to this needy area and extend your contributions to these hungry school children.
