Diakassan continue to excel in fencing: in September she won 2ndplace with silver medal at the Mali Olympic Committee’s competition.
October marked the beginning of the new school year in Mali. Our children are eager to do well this year, following their summer experiences which were filled with both extra curricular activities such as carpentry, beauty salon, and tailoring learning and sports such as taekwondo, basketball and fencing.
October is solidarity month in Mali and ACFA was blessed with in-kind and cash donations from numerous individuals and organizations a like.
Adama and Lassine have started high school: this new experience is promising as they are eager to learn more and pass the national exam in 3 years that will set them up for college enrollment.
To strengthen our back office, ACFA’s board of director hired a grant writer and several interns and volunteers to support the organization’s fundraising efforts. Additionally, this semester, the board continued to revamp its committees and has placed numerous actions into motion to allow for enhanced performance at all levels of operations.
This December 2 board members will join the CEO in Mali to assess operations, and experience first hand the beginning of the new academic year. Stay tuned for more on this trip in our next report.
Thank you for your support and the opportunity that you give us to continue our mission of brining hope to Mali’s vulnerable children.
