Dear Supporters:
We are writing from South Africa now, as we’re here to check on our myriad projects across four schools serving 3,000 students. Just today, we spent upwards of eight hours at St. Ignatius Primary School, the hopeful recipient of the computer laboratory this project has targeted. The educators and students are so grateful for our support, and we remain so appreciative of the chance to interact with such vibrant and skilled children and adults.
We have a long way to go to fund St. Ignatius Primary School's lab, but we are not losing hope. Why? Fortunately, we have had success finding outside sponsors for the laptops, so now we are in need of funding for the preparation of the future lab space and the computer software that parallels the countrywide curricular mandate.
We would be grateful for your support and equally grateful if you were to spread the word to your family and friends on our behalf. We believe global equity will be reached only when everyone has access to quality education, and we also believe that providing twenty-first century technology to rural schoolchildren is a major step in that direction.
Thank you for spending a moment to read, and thank you, too, for forwarding this email to anyone you think has similar goals for children, no matter where they may live.
Best wishes, and here’s to the power of Ubuntu!
Martha T. Cummings
