The new classroom at Boriziny (Port-Bergé) school is finished! A message from our contact there: "This is Alana's memorial classroom now in use. This is such a huge step forward for the Lycée. The headmaster has asked me to convey the thanks of all who use it to you and all who subscribed. It has been built in a way that it can take another storey when there are funds to progress the work. There are now 720 pupils in the school, and whilst they should really limit the numbers they say they haven't the heart to turn children away!"

Dear friends. As promised, we now share with you some news and photos from the third of three new projects in Madagascar that we are supporting in memory of Alana. Ambohijafy 2 Primary School was constructed in 2019-2020 to provide a better learning environment for students, and the Education for Life (E4L) programme will continue to support the school for five years.

The programme will enhance educational facilities by establishing resource libraries, improving school infrastructure, and ensuring access to daily nutritious meals through school canteens. Kitchen gardens and orchards will provide fresh produce for meals and also serve as agricultural training sites. Teachers will benefit from specialised training designed to improve the quality of education, while parents will be empowered through literacy, numeracy, and business skills training, alongside sustainable agricultural practices.
