Dear Supporters,
We are now officially half way through 2017, so we thought that we'd take this opportunity to share with you some of the achievements from our projects all around the world.
Mexico
In Mexico, we have been able to work on multiple projects in education and marine conservation. For the second year, we have provided dog therapy for special needs children at our partner organisation CEIA. We have also assisted Save The Children Staff to become Emergency First Responder Instructors. This means that from now on they can do their own training with new staff members! Our marine project has supported two locals at our partner organisation to become certified divers.
Fiji
Our projects in Fiji have been very active this year, still rebuilding after the destruction caused by Cyclone Winston in February 2016. We have used your donations to rebuild a kindergarten (report coming soon!), purchase new rain tanks and fix up the rainwater harvesting infrastructure, replace school books and start kitchen gardens all around the village.
India
Funded by donations from Stelly's High School, we were able to assist St Louis Primary School to upgrade their security and playground. The school has very limited resources and options to develop structured extracurricular activities and organise non-classroom based learning as been limited as a result. Although St Louis is a private school, they charge minimal school fees and most of the students’ families live in the middle-to-low-income Mundamveli area.
We were able to assist them by building a security wall and bamboo playground, benefiting over 100 students every year. Read the full report.
Nepal
In Nepal, we were able to use your donations to fund a sterilisation clinic run by our partner, Himalayan Animal Rescue Trust. 200 dogs were neutered over a 2 day period!
We have also been able to support a new partner, SASANE. They work on creating awareness on the issue of human trafficking as well as assisting victims of trafficking to get back on their feet by learning skills to generate an income. Funds have been contributed to support their school awareness programme that they are rolling out over the next few months.
Thank you for your support, which helps to make all of these projects, and more, a reality!
With Gratitude,
The GVI Trust
