A Very Happy Holiday Message from Mama Lucy

FINALdama_alice_compressed_largeHallo my friends!

I’m SO excited to inform you that today I received an email from my daughter about the results of our class 4 national exams.  Out of more than 100 schools in Arusha district, our school  scored 2nd position, only 2 points behind the top school.  When I heard this, I feel it’s good to write to you and share the good news!!

I hope during this holiday you’ll help us offer the opportunity for a great education to even more children in my village.  By choosing one of the gifts below, you’ll help a child attend our school.  This will help children who have lost their parents or come from families that cannot afford basic needs.

Each of these gifts will help a child get education for a full year:


You can buy these gifts in the Epic Change gift shop.


If you’ll order before I leave US on 14th December, I’ll send a note of thanks from me to the one receiving your gift. By investing in the education of a child, you’ll create a more beautiful future for all of us. What gift could be better than that?

Thank you so much!  Happy Holidays!

Mama Lucy

PS:  I hope your holidays are as happy as mine!  I’m having great time on my first visit to Europe and US.  You can see few photos and read some little about my journey on my new tumblr blog, but I’m most excited about TweetsGiving!  Thank you SO much to all of you who helped to raise money to build a new classroom and our school’s first library.  I’m SO excited!!
