We continue to be amazed and inspired at the gener We continue to be amazed and inspired at the generosity of Elyse McManus, granddaughter of JoAnn McManus, who continues to raise and contribute funds to provide support for the education of children at the JoAnn McManus Academy in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Elyse's generosity and kindness helps us to support the children of JMA, giving us the ability to provide the funds for educational supplies and technology equipment for the school, and now, for transportation for the students, as she is currently helpinng raise funds for the repairs of a van that was donated to the school. Elyse has told us, "I only want to share my grandmother's legacy and hard work, and keep helping these children in need." Thank you for being a part of our village Elyse, your grandmother would be so proud of you! If you would like to join Elyse in supporting the JoAnn McManus Academy, please make a donation directly to JoAnn McManus Academy on our new donation portal (link in bio).
