Recently Janeth Shayo, teacher at Olchoki Primary School, reached out to us with a heartfelt message from the community. It was addressed to us, but we know that it was really you that helped students receive lunch at the school. Here is what she had to say:
“Hello OBA.
It’s my hope that you are all doing well there. On my side am very okay with my family too.
I am here on behalf of the parents, students, school committee and my fellow teachers of OLCHOKI Primary School to give our thanks giving for your kindness and big support in providing the lunch through out the first term. The children are really appreciate your love and great care. Nothing we can give back to you instead of prayer everyday
Please pass our Thanksgiving to all OBA’s including your family.
May God continue to bless you and keep you safe all the time.
Pass my regards to all OBA’s.
Thank you very much.”
As Janeth said, thank you so much for making a lunch program possible at Olchoki Primary School. Your generosity and dedication to bringing education to all is changing the lives of thousands of students each day.
For 16 years Steve worked to translate the Bible into the dialect of the Tandroy people of Madagascar. He is now working hard with OBA to ensure they have clean water, proper school and spiritual resources. Steve is keeping a record of his journey in Madagascar to drill wells in areas in dire need. This record is from last year, but he is still hard at work. Click HERE to read about his adventures along the way!
Abdulrazak Gurnah left Africa as a refugee in the 1960s amid the persecution of citizens of Arab origin under President Abeid Karume’s regime in Zanzibar where he grew up, when the peaceful liberation from British colonial rule led to a revolution. He was only able to return to Zanzibar in 1984, allowing him to see his father shortly before his death. Bravo to Abdulrazak Gurnah for his bravery and for the merit of his incredible novels!
Naomi is a student at the School of Nursing. She, and her classmates want to thank everyone who helped provide them with reusable menstrual care kits. Watch the video below to hear her words. Feminine products are hard to come by, and they are so appreciated. Normally, the young women would likely miss out on school during their menstrual cycle, but these kits have given them the ability to be present in class and miss out on nothing. Thank you!
Shelene Bryan's philanthropy started with a sponsorship of two young African children. Her friends would ask her, how do you know that your money is going to the children in need? If you have ever had someone ask you that question, please watch this video. It is awe inspiring and very informative.
