CoH Annual Report | Page 3

A LETTER FROM OUR CEO This year was a pivotal year for Classroom of Hope filled with successes, challenges and learnings that would not have been possible without the support of our donors and the strong partnerships we have forged. The second half of the last year saw us hire our first two full time staff in CoH. This was a massive milestone for us! In the coming year, CoH will focus on creating sustainability within our organisation through our Wise Owls campaign. This campaign will help us expand the impact of our overseas education programs. Our team and local NGO partners will continue to develop six more child- friendly schools in Cambodia, build schools in Rwanda, Cambodia and Laos, distribute scholarships and create ‘English in the Village’ classrooms in Indonesia with a common purpose of quality education for all. In the following pages you will find an overview of our journey and impact we have created together in 2015-2016 and also over the last three and a half years. On behalf of our passionate team, including our incredible volunteers and in-country partners, we are grateful for your continued support. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of thousands of children through life-changing education. Duncan Ward
