Back to the Future 2021
Dear Friends of Hope,
While school life here in the States has been beginning, adjusting, and pivoting, in-person school at Hope International began for this year’s senior class last Tuesday, October 19th. Pictured are some of the 2022 seniors, whose school uniforms will be arriving soon. The rest of the students will be returning in November.
There will be condensed instruction and a longer year and our Liberian friends will find a way to make it all work. Over our 13 years together they have modeled what resiliency and adaptability look like when life swerves.
Wishing the students and staff of Hope International a year of health and learning.
Celebrating this Breakthrough!
Dear Friends of Hope,
With all the happenings at Hope International in the last couple of weeks, the recent amazing news of a malaria vaccine slipped through without the celebration merited.
Each year 260,000 children die from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2019, 800,000 children have participated in a pilot program in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi and a game-changing malaria vaccine has been approved. This vaccine will have an immensely positive impact on children's health.
At Hope International’s medical clinic, we provide medication for malaria where 7 students were treated just last month.
“This is a historic moment. The long-awaited malaria vaccine for children is a breakthrough for science, child health and malaria control,” said WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. You can read more about the vaccine here.
Please join us in celebrating this breakthrough and the benefits it brings to Liberia and all of the world.
