We are absolutely delighted to announce we have reached and exceeded our target of sponsoring 108 children through Hope 108. Most of our generous international sponsors continued supporting their child over the years and until they completed school. Some sponsors even took on responsibility for more than one child! Others additionally posted personal gifts, including toys, football kits, footballs and letters to further delight and encourage the children. We really appreciate such generous support from our sponsors, thank you all! Principals and teachers worked in partnership with us to receive funds, spend them on necessities for the child and update us on how they were doing, academically and holistically. A big thank you to them all for working collaboratively with us in their own time. Aside from getting updates from the schools, we also travelled to meet them in person. It was a joy to meet the children, parents and their teachers over the years in Bhutan. There are still a few remote schools left to visit. Parents told us of the relief they felt when they knew the cost of essentials would be met by the sponsor. School uniform, shoes, bag, coats, blankets, sports kit, stationery as well as compulsory nominal school fees were taken care of. This enabled the children to purely focus on their studies. To date, everyone of the 108 sponsored children stayed at school and did not drop out. Working together we have achieved our goal to H elp O ptimise P upils' E ducation. Moving forwards, we shall continue to be inclusive and support diversity by offering sponsorship opportunities at either a school, a monastery/nunnery, or a centre for children with disabilities. If you would like to get involved or find out more, we would be delighted to hear from you!
