One of our major sponsors, SANNE, graciously provided 30 food packs so we could distribute to our most deserving families. Students and their parents came to the office during the third week of June to collect their pack. It was an opportunity to learn how the students coped with online courses during the lockdown.
In July 2020, one of our members visited the students we sponsor in Rodrigues. SAC is currently sponsoring 16 students in four schools across the island. The visit provided the opportunity to meet with more needy families to assess their requirements in view of future sponsorship.
Since then, visits have not been possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The young members of Interact Ebene organised an end of year party in 2019 for some 20 of our sponsored students so they could distribute the school materials purchased through the club’s fundraising activities. Interact members entertained the students, their parents and our members with songs and dances.
SAC is partnering with “We Are Youth”, an association of volunteers working with the students of the small village of Panchavati in Rivière du Rempart. The group applies the principle of ‘Know your child’ and meet regularly with the students and the families for coaching and mentoring. In 2020, 5 of the students receive monthly allowances from SAC.
