Dear donors; The pandemic changed our program as it did with our whole lives.
Schools and Universities closed since the very beginning and mentors and mentees stopped attending the program at their campi. However, some of the matches were able to keep on doing activities and having contact through the internet, we know at least half of the matches continued in contact and some were creative enough to do activities on WhatsApp.
Sadly, not all of the matches have access to the internet whenever they want, most of them need to borrow a device to contact their mentor and some don't have internet access at home. But still, the program continued in many places.
We are now getting ready for the next school year, we are preparing some updates so we can continue with the program in the Universities and schools once they reopen. We know how important our program is for vulnerable kids and we are doing our best to find the best way to reorganize and improve our program so the matches can be in contact even thou they are not personally together.
This pandemic changed us all, but it also made us stronger and more united.
Stay safe and thank you for your support.
