We are so very excited to share the latest good news as of December 2023 with our supporters and donors. As you may know, WAFF has pivoted to now start providing aid to two orphanages full of disabled children in the Freetown area of Sierra Leone. We have a new website that will slowly roll out for our supporters as we have more information to post. The official name of this new initiative is The West Africa Village for Children.
Our fundraising has only just begun, but we've had tremendous feedback on the work we are planning.. We are so very thankful that the donations are starting to come in with exceptional generosity. Seeing so many children in need on site from the last trip, we know all too well what needs to be done and how much pain some of these little ones are in. It breaks our hearts that we can't wave a magic wand and make it better, but we are making very good progress on what we are calling our PROJECT RADIANT FUTURE which is a multi-phase building project.
We have received guidance from another non-profit group who has highly recommended a very talented local architect and a builder whose services are priced fairly and who are very competent. We expect to have an estimate very soon and more good news to report in that regard.
As far as immediate need, we are managing as best we are able for now, to outsource some of our more urgent care patients who need help right now. Some of this can be done via our local resources and via cell conferences when Dr. Maggi and others are unable to be physically present.
There are several children that will need to undergo surgery soon and we will bring their stories to you as we see some kind of progress so that you can know how much your efforts are helping restore function and lessen painful conditions for our little ones.
Thank you to all for your incredible and amazing hearts that are rescuing our new family.
