We are grateful for those who have partnered with us to help fund a classroom at Trumba. Our goal is $25,000, the cost to build one classroom to accommodate 100 students in each of two sessions. Lynn Cole, RISE's Executive Director, just returned from a trip to Angola. On one of her trips to visit another RISE school, she passed through Trumba and was greeted by the village administrator.
The government in the Bie Province would still like to see a school built at Trumba and is committed to assist in that process. The drop in oil prices has hit Angola hard as this is their major revenue source, and has caused the government to suspend many social projects. We are hopeful that funding will come through soon.
We have raised funds through our annual benefit and private donations getting us closer to full funding. Will you help us get this school built for the kids at Trumba? GlobalGiving makes it easy to give and spread the word about our project. If you live in the US, you can even donate by mobile phone! There is a Bonus Day coming up - April 14, in which donations will be matched at 50% up to $1000 per donor. This is a great way to multiply your gift and increase your impact!
Please consider giving to our project on April 14th to help kids in Angola receive an education. Your gift will make a difference!
