GREEN MANGO SPRING 2021 TOP STORIES
Dear Donors, Supporters and Volunteers,
in this International Day of Happiness, we are delighted to announce the restarting of the courses at the Green Mango Centre (GM). We thank you all very much for your constant support which has allowed us during this period to maintain the courses for the adults, to keep the library open, to train new teachers (Mrs Joséphine and Mrs Yasmine) and to set-up new programs. Our top news stories confirm the importance of empowerment (see below the Ars Légende start-up) and of synergies with federations of associations such as Enfance Tiers Monde and 4dePijler. Coup de Pouce is now shortlisted on the good causes platform. Stay safe!
