Dear donors,

I am pleased to share with you the messages that we received from Halua and Margarate’s parents after receiving the news that their daughters could continue their high school education thanks to an Aiducation scholarship:

Halua’s dad wrote:

«I thank you for the wonderful news this morning. I would say it’s God working in his own ways. Things had gotten tough since I had two kids joining high school this year. Thank you»

Margarate’s mum wrote: «I had to talk to her teachers to allow her back in school this term. She has been down knowing that we are having a hard time paying her school fees. God is faithful. May you guys be repaid 100 fold.»

I was so touched reading these messages and am extremely grateful for the positive impact we can have together on the lives of two girls in Kenya. Thank you!

A big thank you to everyone who supported my birthday campaign «Scholarship for Halua». I am overwhelmed by your generous donations! Thanks to you we have surpassed our initial goal of one scholarship and have been able to finance a second scholarship for Margarate in cooperation with Jan Rihak and his team (https://www.leetchi.com/c/1000km-for-aiducation?fbclid=IwAR1ZNZXpraOBHYq4WPzJJaY8jxTQBH7_SDqbrh6OINKnnr3Ik3VS2XliQxE).

With your help, this birthday crowdfunding campaign has positively changed the course of the lives of two young girls. They will be able to graduate high school and pursue their dreams of becoming an entrepreneur and a teacher in Kenya, respectively. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have made this possible.

Thank you for your kind wishes and especially to those who contributed to my birthday fundraiser: Because of your generosity we managed to collect more than enough to pay for one Aiducation International scholarship to benefit Halua!

Since we collected CHF 1000 more than anticipated, I’ve teamed up with Jan Rihak who just cycled 1000 km from Switzerland to the Atlantic coast to benefit Aiducation to raise another scholarship together (see his travel video here: https://youtu.be/GPyKBUi5CUs)!

The second scholarship will benefit Margarate, who dreams of becoming a teacher: http://www.aiducation.org/en/aidu_seekers/3460-Margarate-teacher?fbclid=IwAR05tTvuZMDnlvnziiqQgCzlO6WQcfB_3q9viNiREb82vWDfOut6GBCdkeM

To reach our goal, we have just a few days left and a goal of total CHF 5330. Grateful for all and every little bit of support in the final seven days of this campaign!
