You've just ensured that:
1) the food programme can look after the most vulnerable Dekpor Basic School students for the entire year,
2) the essential school staff hired by DSDO will be financially compensated,

4) the team of dentists can be brought back in the spring of 2024!
A big happy thank you to absolutely every person who helped!
