Thanks to our first "Buy a Beer, Buy a Desk" campaign, we were able to gift sixty desks to a high school in Diego Suarez, in Madagascar! For information on this initiative, please click here. Over the past three weeks and with the help of Ismael Leandre, Kim Reuter negotiated with local carpenters to build the desks and have them delivered. When the d-day finally arrived today, Michelle and Lou Jones (two of our excellent volunteers) were there to document all of the action! Hailing from Norway and the United Kingdom, respectively, Michelle and Lou worked with Kim in Madagascar and have become excellent advocates for the organization. To see pictures of the delivery, check out our gallery below! To learn more about this tiny, 100-student rural school, click here. This last weekend, Kim Reuter along with Ladybug Project volunteers Michelle and Lou traveled from Diego Suarez to the village of Mahamasina where we are sponsoring a small elementary school! While we didn't get to meet any students (school is out for the summer!), we did get to chat with the Director of the school and she very much appreciated the notebooks, pens, erasers, and soccer ball that we brought along with us! In the future, we hope to be able to provide small scholarship to students graduating from this school in order to pursue higher education! |
