The big day has finally arrived, the new school integration in Koutaya.

After a hearty breakfast, we packed the cars with colorful decorations, marketing materials and a whole lot of excitement. Upon arriving in Koutaya, the atmosphere was already alive, the locals were cooking lunch, music filled the air and children were gathered in classrooms, buzzing with anticipation. The entire village, along with many from surrounding areas, came together to celebrate this historic moment.

By 11 o’clock, local authorities and government officials began to arrive, joined by special guests including His Excellency Mr. Daniel Shepherd, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom. After several inspiring speeches, we officially cut the ribbon marking the inauguration of the very first school ever built in Koutaya and its neighboring communities.

This school will open doors for thousands of children and create countless opportunities for the future. We are beyond proud of this milestone and the impact it will bring to the lives of so many.

A heartfelt thank you to GRP Solutions, Richmond Motor Group, the British Embassy, our supporters, sponsors and dedicated volunteers without you, none of this would have been possible.
