It is with great joy that we express our deep gratitude to The Daily Planet Band for their stellar performance at our benefit concert at First Baptist Church, Manchester, on Saturday, July 23. The crowd of about 50 was small but mighty with so much enthusiasm and attention! We were excited to have the chance to meet some new folks and share the work of Arica Education Partnership. The concert was a long-planned event to help move the organization closer to the goal of meeting a dollar-for-dollar match challenge of $45,000. Going into the event, AEP was in possession of just over $31,000. Almost $4300 was collected during the evening, with additional donations and pledges that continued to come in. As of today, we are so happy to announce that the goal of $45,000 has been exceeded! We are so thankful for the support given to our work- it means a great deal and encourages us to keep moving forward. The generosity demonstrated is truly touching. With the match met and the dormitory project well positioned, we are looking ahead to our next project- construction of a new classroom block at rural Godogodo school. The children are currently being educated in a repurposed chicken coop…and that must be remedies. Stay tuned!

It has been a while since we have provided an update on our dormitory project at Graceland International School. Construction has been halted since January of this year due to a funding drought and challenges within Nigeria itself.
Africa Education Partnership members believe that schools need to be places where children and teachers feel safe and supported. In such an environment, learning can more readily take place. Given the present conditions and challenges in Nigeria, this is no small feat. However, every step we take is considered a victory, no matter the size of the project.
