Dear Project Supporters,

The children are improving in their academic work. Fanta, Daniel, Susan, Mariatu, and Felicia are doing well in their class in the primary category.  Tutors in the After School lessons have aided in their improvement. Dorcas, Fatmata, Mabinty, and Osman are doing well in high school. Alhaji sat to the N.P.S.E in May. Geraldine is also committed to her studies to take the private W.A.S.S.C.E.

Easter Monday - April 17, was a public holiday. We had a party sponsored by Mike, a Board member.  The children enjoyed the Easter celebration.  There was a lot of food, drinks, and dancing.

Early June, the children had a visit from Clowns Without Borders. Artists from Clowns Without Borders brought joy and cheer to Dream Home children and other kids at the Vickrays Primary School. The kids had a fun time - with lots of smiles and laughter. View photos from the show.

Our focus continues to be ensuring that they live rounded lives.  We are providing the best care that we could for them.

Over the past 3 months, we have together raised $1,348.32 through this project. This amount is about half of what we need on a monthly basis to meet our budget.

Your support helps us provide the food and security that they need.  Because of you, the children are able to participate in a wide range of celebrations and activities.  

Save the Date - Matching Donation Opportunity: On Wednesday, July 12, donations will be matched a 50%, from 9:00 am EDT, with $110,000 in matching funds available.  We look forward to your continued support.

With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa & Dream Home Team
