Quarterly Newšletter, 4th Edition

December 15th 2009 - Quarterly Newšletter, 4th Edition

Welcome to our last newsletter of the year. During the months of October and November workshops were held to introduce our “CLC Sustainability Programme” . The workshops were the first time for many of the Community Learning Centres (CLC’s) to meet with each other and share experiences which proved to be a very valuable and energizing experience. Hopefully we will be able to give you an update on our first CLC sustainability project in our next
Newsletter!
 
Myself and Naus Kamal, the Foundation’s Project Coordinator, visited the Health Clinic at Tsak village from which the freshly launched second Mobile Clinic will be operating a health outreach programme. The health clinic was established just over 1 year ago and provides free medical services to a population of 40,000 people living in this rugged area. Another milestone is the completion of the first kit structure double classroom. Another two double classroom projects will start construction shortly with our aim to have 6 double classroom projects completed
by the end of March 2010.
 
To top it all off the month of December has been busy with Digicel staff Christmas visits to more than 1,000 vulnerable children from our CLC’s across the
country!
 
Last but not least I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our partners and stakeholders for their continued support and wish you all a Merry Christmas and
a very happy and healthy 2010!
