By December, 2017, we had raised over $80,000 and sent our first $69,000 to JRS for construction of six classrooms. Three new classrooms were constructed in Goz Amir refugee camp and were ready for use in early 2019. Additionally, three dilapidated classrooms in the Djabal refugee camp were renovated and ready for use in late 2018.  These six classrooms host 360 children.
In 2018, Watoto Read again raised nearly $75,000.  In January 2019, we sent $10,300 to JRS for 100 benches, enough to accommodate 500 children.  Additional funds will soon be sent for more construction and renovation of classrooms in 2019.  [/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3065″ img_size=”300×200″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border_circle” title=”New school!”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3068″ img_size=”300×200″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border_circle” title=”New benches!”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3070″ img_size=”300×200″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border_circle” title=”Inspiring dreams!”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
