After
8 years, children from the Escolinha do André (“EA”) school that were supported
by the Sponsoring programme ran by our sister charity UPG Portugal grew up and
left the school. These children typically attend the Escolinha until the 5th grade and continue their
studies in state schools near the area where they live. They would
regularly come to receive our support in the EA as “external” children, always
under the supervision of the Dominican sisters.
In 2016, ALG took direct
responsibility for the “external” students in André’s Pre-school. We believe
that this change allows us to monitor the children more closely and provide a
more customized support during this difficult phase when many students consider
abandoning school. At the same time, the Dominican Sisters can dedicate their
full attention exclusively to the children in André’s Pre-school.
The support provided to
the children focuses on Education. Our sister charity annual sponsoring
fee finances enrolment fees, school material, school expenses, uniforms, guard, as well as extra support
for healthcare and hygiene, according to the children’s needs. We have 38
Sponsored children we hope to continue to witness their successful growth!
