Education for 200 children in Honduras

As you may have seen in the news, Latin America is currently a major hotspot for Covid-19. We are putting a priority on immediate vital emergency food supplies to the families, especially for the elderly and disabled, and hygiene products for the schools during the current Covid-19 pandemic. Lockdowns, restrictions on travel and isolation have taken a heavy toll in the communities.

To give us a big boost GlobalGiving will be 50% matching all donations up to $50 between 14th-18th September as we aim to provide tonnes of emergency food supplies including pastas, rice, cooking oil, salt, sugar, oatmeal, sardines and other items to hundreds of families as well as boxes of soaps, hand sanitizers, fase masks and disinfectants for all our classrooms in all our countries.  

With your brilliant donations, matched at 50% up to $50 by GlobalGiving, we will be able to make huge inroads into our Covid-19 response across all our communities in Latin America.

Despite classroom learning be banned our local teachers have been able to give the students sufficient homework and worksheets in the communities themselves, obviously taking the necessary precautions. With no access to the internet this all needs to be done by foot. It is hoped that classes will resume in the next few weeks on a rota-basis with certain grades coming in on certain days though this is still to be confirmed.

The students have been busy on the sustainable Plan Huertos (vegetable gardens) as part of their hands-on approach to studying. Income generated from these will help the families, the school and provide much need food in the long-term.

Thank you so much for anything you can donate to our immediate emergency food programme. Please feel free to share this with friends, family and work colleagues as every little helps!

Cheers
