We missed you.
A few weeks ago, we welcomed back our pre-schoolers who had been off since mid-March due to the threat of the coronavirus. We took many special precautions to ensure that all our students and staff were safe.
Thanks to the generosity of donorsΒ and the agility of all the MCH staff, pre-school is up and running better than ever.

Toothbrushing:Β Though we have stopped our toothbrushing at school, the students have been provided with toothbrushes to take home. They are encouraged to practice dental hygiene at home. We hope to restart our toothbrushing program at schoolΒ in the future.
Eating:Β Β We have tried to limit the number of students eating at once, and we ensure the children are sitting a little farther apart than normal.

Recognizing a couple of great Majengo friends who have been playing a really important role in the Majengo story:
Philip & Joyce Epstein
Majengo Canada has had the privilege of working with Philip and Joyce Epstein over the past several years, and thanks to their generosity, many Majengo dreams have been realized. They have provided support for new additions to the Majengo campus, including an office, a goat and duck house, as well as provided funding that allowed Majengo to host a mental health support training program for the Majengo children. (See below for some pictures of projects at the centre.)
The Epstein’s favourite project is the Animal Husbandry Program which included the purchase of some new cow friends at Majengo. This is a gift that keeps on giving, with our newest calf, Tulip, making her debut appearance earlier in 2020 βΒ a welcome addition during such a challenging year.

We thank them so much for partnering with us, sharing our stories with their friends and family, and for their love of Tanzania and the Majengo children.
