I’ve been in touch with Courtney as she completes the Peace Corps and I’m happy to share now an update about what she is working on. I thought it might be interesting for you to hear her perspective. As she says:
“For the past several months, my community and I have been working on planning for and writing a grant which has just been approved and posted online to be fundraised. It’s a sort of government version of GoFundMe. The project we are working on aims to rehabilitate the primary school I work with so that all nine of our classrooms are usable and functioning for both the students and teachers. Achieving this will not only help the most obvious parties involved, the students and teachers, but it will bring life, and opportunity for development and growth to the community.”
