Years ago my school gave coats to Keep a Child Warm and every year since I’ve always wondered what it would be like to meet the children in person.

Boxes Arrived Safely in Ukraine

I am certain from the engaging Facebook feed of #keepachildwarm #teammoldova posts, there will be plenty more stories from Moldova to follow. But I couldn’t wait to get this started with some great news.

Follow your heart…

It’s all about following your heart. When you know you need to do something – JUST DO IT (obviously I am not talking about harming yourself or others here!).

Jamaica: Keep a Child Learning Update

When a child’s life is positively impacted by a small gesture, hope and potential are released. Our team in Jamaica have sent this report only days after the pilot project ‘Keep a child Learning Jamaica’ began.

Zimbabwe: Children of Hope Update

All is well this with the school fees all paid up for those who brought their school reports on time. Things have improved since we introduced ‘bring a report first before we pay fees’ policy.
