Dear Friends of Action Change,
I hope this report finds you well.Our project is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those who are often overlooked. Your support in the past has allowed us to sponsor around 50-70 children each year to attend school and these children are from a rural community in Costa Rica that falls through the cracks.
Each day, we see innocent children become a victim anf fall through the cracks of society due to circumstances beyond their control. These children, often forgotten and left alone, are denied the basic necessities of life like food, shelter, and education.
One such child we can't name for protection reasons, so we will call him 'Happy'.
His story is heartbreaking. His parents, victims of drug addiction, often forget to feed him and provide no help for him to attend school. He spends his days alone, trying to fend for himself. Education, a fundamental right for every child, seems like a distant dream for our friend 'Happy'. And yet, his spirit remains undeterred. He dreams of going to school, of learning about the world around him, and of one day escaping the dire circumstances in which he finds himself.
We believe that every child deserves a chance at a better life, an opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. And we work tirelessly to turn this belief into reality and with your dedication over the past 8 years we have given so many children an expectional chance to change their future in Costa Rica, for this I thnak you all.
With your donations and support at the start of 2024 we have managed to enrol 'Happy' in our local school and provide him with daily meals. The smile on his face when he received his first set of school books was priceless. However, there are countless others like Happy who still need our help and we want to do more this year if we can. Scholarships for our children in Costa Rica start from $30 a month for children in primary education, to $200 for student attending local universities. 6 children that with your donations we started to support 6 years ago are now coming to the of their secondary education as this was a dream so far from them before your changed their future.
Thank you for your hard work and support!
Tyrone
