Ann Beatty has been supporting EducAid since before she visited for the first time some 4 years ago but she moved out to live in Maronka and head up the Girls’ Safe House in September 2011 and has become a completely invaluable member of the team. She is thinking, hard-working, committed and has the kindest heart you could hope to find anywhere.
Sad day today as she heads back to the UK to see family and friends but….. not for too long. We think the feelings are mutual. Ann has fallen in love with the kids at Maronka and EducAid’s work as much as we have with her!
Ann plans to be back in April to continue her good work on the self esteem projects with the girls, capacity building and coaching of the staff, supervision of construction and so much more.
She will be greatly missed and we will all be waiting with open arms for her return.
