Hi!!
Here is the payment slip for 800 euros to support the Twabuka school cafeteria for the next 30 days.
This difficult time for everyone has also slowed down life at the school in Twabuka. Since last April, the Zambian government has ordered schools to close, and classes resumed only in early June—but only for the grades taking exams: at our school, this means that only two grades (seventh and ninth) are attending regular classes.
With the partial resumption of classes, in agreement with the Principal and our American friends who continue to fund 50% of the project, we have decided to cover the cost of the school lunch program for the two classes that are able to attend (and, of course, for their teachers) by sending two installments of donations for June and July, each amounting to 800 euros.
Unfortunately, for the first time since 2012, we won’t be able to make our annual visit to the school this year; however, most importantly, we’re able to keep the school cafeteria open, and it continues to operate without interruption: thanks to all of you, our efforts to ensure these students have the dignity of a daily meal haven’t stopped!
Thank you, as always, for your support… even during these challenging months.
