Hi everyone,

Many of us have spent the last few weeks getting into a rhythm of new beginnings, both new schools and life situations alike. Getting new backpacks and school supplies (my favorite part of "back-to-school" time) is the true marker that Fall is right around the corner; however and we aren’t the only ones getting ready.

Some of you may remember a donation post I made in January to fund the secondary education of four Bukanda Primary students for this school year (they are entering their final term of the year, thriving within Mansa Secondary School!); Bukanda Primary has recently been delegated five desktop computers but due to the community’s rural setting, no current electrical set up exists, rendering these computers unusable. Our goal through this fundraiser is to fund enough money for a solar panel setup at the school, making computer literacy and subsequent academic progress within both the school and community itself more accessible than it ever has been. To fully fund a solar setup that would power all five computers runs around K28,000-- roughly around $1700. I hope that by continuing to lend a hand whenever it is needed and possible we will help make a difference in each other’s lives. I am constantly in awe of the generosity so many of you showcase and can’t even begin to express how appreciative I am because if it weren’t for us all working together everything would fall through.

Remember that everything makes a difference, a donation, a share-- we appreciate everything.

Thank you.
