This week we successfully transferred the first €550 slice of funding so that Irismer could pay the luthier for the necessary instrument repairs. Irismer was also able to pick up the recorders, so now everything is set to begin next Monday :-)

Successful project and call for support
Fiona Stevens · 10.09.2026
Thank you, once again, for supporting this project - with your help, it was possible to provide a safe space and a learning experience for 93 children during the summer holidays in Bukavu.The project officially ended when the children returned to school on 1st September, but I'm keeping the platform running for a while longer as we are still short of funds to remunerate the 5 staff members and 4 assistants who made this project possible on the ground and who have received nothing to date.We are looking to raise another EUR 2.500, which would cover the fees of all nine staff members.We would be most grateful if you could share our call far and wide!

Prolonging a Safe Space
Fiona Stevens · 18.08.2026
On a call with Irismer this weekend, I asked him how he is managing, given that we have not yet reached our campaign goal. Irismer tells me that his staff feel it is more important to provide a safe space for the kids than to receive a fee and that they would like to extend the project until the kids go back to school on 1st September.For this reason: thank you in advance for letting your friends, colleagues and family know that we will extend the campaign and prolong the safe space - and let's see if we can raise enough to give Irismer's staff at least a small recognition for their work <3
