On our recent trip to Bali, we were blessed to spend time with our dear friends Duncan and Nicola, an inspirational couple who have dedicated their lives to giving children the life-changing gift of education. They founded Classroom of Hope, a truly powerful charity that provides education organization and infrastructure to impoverished villages around the world. Their most recent project will see a school built in the village of Gitumba, in rural Rwanda, Africa. To make their way to their classroom today, the children of Gitumba have to navigate difficult terrain for 2.5 hours – a journey that exposes the children to dangerous situations on a daily basis.
Duncan’s and Nicola’s passion and commitment has moved us! As we think about our future – our love, our growth and (perhaps one day) our children – our thoughts continue to rest with the efforts of our friends. And with our upcoming wedding, we knew we would have the opportunity to raise awareness and funding for this charity through our community of loved ones. We are fortunate, others around the world are not; we decided to donate our wedding gifts – or their monetary value – to Classroom of Hope to help improve education for children, like those of Gitumba. Thank you so very much in advance for the unique gift of helping us help others.
Lauren and Adam
