Well, it's that time of year again! Both here in the US and in Mali students are headed back to school.
Recently in one of our villages, Famana, the principal of the school there shared a story that children - both boys and girls - some as young as 4 years, were walking to school to listen in on the lessons and learn, despite the fact they weren't technically enrolled. And the teachers, graciously and patiently allowed them to listen in.
Famana has been one of the villages where are education initiatives have been successfully implemented, which includes: teacher trainings for all teacher, providing school supplies such as book and bench desks, and increasing enrollment numbers of village children, especially among girls.
Thanks to the wonderful teachers who give so much to make sure children in remote villages also have a safe place to learn! And thanks to all of you who continue to support our education initiatives and turn these children’s dreams into reality!
