Dearest friends and family of Good Hope,
As Christmas is approaching we do have a special request this year.
Part of our Good Hope compound is only protected by hedges that are too easy to overcome by the many burglars that roam around in this marginalized area of Moshi. Good Hope has already been broken into several times, which is why we urgently need to build a wall around our premises. This will help us to protect our equipment (like sewing machines and computers), our crafted and tailored items, as well as our fruits that we are growing for the students' much needed breakfast.
A wall will also allow us to incorporate the part of our compound that has not been fenced yet, which will enable us to create an outdoor class, to grow more fruits, and to give the energetic kids from our new Kindergarten program more space to roam without the risk of them running too far from school.

We have already been able to gather a big chunk of the money needed. We still need around 3300 USD / EURO in order to reach the goal of a safer space for Good Hope. Can you help us with that? Even a donation of 10 USD will get us one step closer to our goal! ❤️

Please find a more elaborate description of our wall project, our fundraising progress, and ways to donate on our website: https://www.goodhopemoshi.org/en/bricks-for-safety/
(LINK IN BIO)

Donations are also possible via PayPal: paypal@goodhopemoshi.org

THANK YOU SO MUCH AND BE BLESSED!!! 🥰

*Sound on*
Project your voice and react quickly!
While we teach English and other subjects in our classrooms, we also take our students outside as often as possible. The hi-ha-hu game has been introduced by our social work intern Arman. The energetic game teaches our students to be attentive and they are encouraged to raise their voices. What a wonderful exercise for our students to get strong and confident, what do you think?? 😍

Meet our Team! 👭🏿👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏿🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏿

Meet Irene Fredy! 🌺

Irene joined our team in 2013 as a local volunteer, supporting our organization through record keeping and letter writing. Because Irene previously worked with computers, she quickly became our experienced technology assistant -- an indispensable skill for the rest of our Good Hope staff who are field practitioners! Over the years, we hired Irene as a full time staff member and, eventually, she entered a one-year secretarial training in 2018 -- taking this course on top of her job at Good Hope and while raising her young daughter. What a commitment!

Irene is the heart and soul of our office: she organizes our student records, sends out emails to their sponsors, files our government paperwork, prepares breakfast for students, facilitates our computer classes, and maintains our daily bookkeeping. Thank you Irene!!! ❤️

When we opened our doors to children from near and far, we soon realized that our students often came to us with an empty stomach. Mothers in financially less fortunate families have to get up very early in the morning to go to the markets and then to work, in order to generate income for their families. For children in those families, preparing breakfast can be quite a hassle. For others an early breakfast can be too expensive and the families have to rely on one meal per day in the afternoon.

As a result, many students at Good Hope had troubles remaining focused past 10am, while we wanted to offer classes until 2pm. This is why we initiated the Breakfast Club in 2013. The Breakfast Club gives the Good Hope students nourishment for their bodies, as well as their minds. Every school day at Good Hope, the students receive a nourishing breakfast with tea and seasonal foods such as fried banana, bread or a fried bun (mandazi); and a fruit such as pineapple, avocado, or sweet banana. Without this Breakfast Club, many of Good Hope’s students would not have access to a good meal in the morning.

We are so glad to be able to offer a diverse breakfast to our students that makes them smile happily and provides them with enough energy to stay focused at our centre (often even past 2pm to chatter and play with their peers in a safe environment 😊).

Corporal punishment is a common practice in Tanzanian schools and is viewed as a necessary tool for discipline among many parents and teachers, as well as students themselves. At Good Hope, we do not support such practices and continuously make efforts to reflect and improve on our own educational practices, to avoid emotional damage to our students. This is why we believe in positive encouragement for our students: appraisal, acknowledgement, and little rewards that are designed to encourage continued growth and support young minds.

Last week’s math competition was won by our smart but shy student, Jeni. What a genius!

Meet our Team! 👭🏿👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏿🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏿

Meet Oliver Canada Siriwa. 🌺

Oliver co-founded Good Hope in 2011 and is Good Hope’s director. She coordinates the work of Good Hope employees, connects with government officials and other organizations, and counsels our students and their families. Oliver always welcomes our students, employees, and our guests with an open heart. Maybe even you have visited Oliver for a nice cookout at her home in Majengo? 😊

Oliver’s ambitions have always been deeply rooted within the community: as a young adult, she began working with the Catholic Church to become a sister, but eventually started volunteering for the Catholic NGO “Rainbow Center” while running a small business selling secondhand clothing. Through Rainbow Center she received training in home-based healthcare and became one of the first HIV/AIDS advocates in Moshi when the pandemic was on the rise in the 1990’s.

Unlike her brothers who went to secondary school, Oliver and her sisters had been denied secondary school education – simply for being girls. But she never let this stop her, as she energetically says, “I want for people to see that I can do it!” – a contagious energy that she spreads among all our employees and students. Fueled with vigor, she follows her mission to fight stigma against infectious diseases such as HIV, to encourage young students to follow their dreams for higher education, and to treat each other with kindness and love.

Thank you Oliver, for your tireless efforts to improve our community. ❤️
