We did it! THANK YOU!!
We successfully raised enough funds to send four telescopes to astronomy students in Libya, Africa. The students are overjoyed!
We also exceeded our goal and got some very good news: a fifth telescope is available for us to purchase for the students! Previously we could only find four telescopes due to COVID-19 supply chain issues.
There are five Roaya astronomy clubs across Libya, and we are so pleased to be able to supply a telescope to each club!!
Thank you for your generous donations, and thank you for supporting these students with your well wishes. You are changing the lives of these students.

P.S. Here is a letter from our founder, Mike Simmons about how grateful we are and about our goals to bring STEM and astronomy to underserved communities.
