Dear Friederike,

Hello,

Please find attached, the status of donations received to support the 167 pupils at the Kanyaruchinya Primary school for the 2020-2021 school year.

You have really done so much efforts and the community will always remember
you!

The school year has been extended to August 9, 2021 because of the Covid-19 situation and the Nyiragongo volcano situation.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Again many thanks.

Best regards,

Jean Bosco

Guten Morgen in die Runde der Interessierten:
Auch im Kongo hat man von den Überschwemmungen im fernen Deutschland erfahren. Jean Bosco hat deshalb angefragt:
Hello Friederike,

Just wanted to know if you are safe after the severe floods.

God bless you.

Jean Bosco

Hello Friederike,

Very good to know that you are safe!

My prayers and condolences are sent to those who lost theirs.

Dear all,

First of all we would like to thank you for all your support during the 2020-2021 school year in favor of the Kanyaruchinya pupils.
The community together with their parents remain so grateful to all your support during this past school year which was very difficult.

The difficult time during this past school year was worsened by the Nyiragongo volcano eruption of May 22nd, 2021.

Nevethless, out of the 167 kids supported, 110 were able to pass to next classes, 49 have failed and are eligigle to repeat the same classes, 8 have abandoned the school as they became homeless after the May 22nd, 2021 Nyiragongo volcano eruption.

For now urgently, let's focus on the school tools for the 159 pupils ready to go back to school on this coming October 4th, 2021 for the new 2021-2022 school year.

I am attaching the list of needed school tools for each kid representing $29 per kid.

This represents a total amount of $4,611 needed from now and October 2nd, 2021.

Again many thanks for your support and we look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Best regards,

Jean Bosco

Good morning Friederike,

Thank you for your questions and the bank confirmation.

The amount of $29 per pupil is for covering note books, uniforms, pens, pencils etc for being used during this school year 2021-2022.

This represented $29/pupils multiply by 159 pupils giving a total of $4,611.

These schools tools were needed before the October 4, 2021 the official resuming date of the class here in DR Congo. This was a request from parents to provide also these school tools.
But since it was not possible before that date, we had a meeting on Friday October 1st, 2021 with the parents to explain that we will not be able to provide these school tools as there were no funds to cover this.

The parents of the pupils agreed and understood so they are now doing their best to cover this cost of these school tools.

However, they beg and beg again that we continue paying the school fees as we did last year.

This means the $1,500 you have just sent will be used for the beginning of school fees payment and not for school tools anymore.

Please let me know if this is clear now or not.

Best regards,

Jean Bosco
