Dear friends, family and Isaack supporters,

We would like to thank everyone again for the wonderful support we received last year towards Isaack's education at St. Andrew's College. 

We felt it was time to update everyone on Isaack's journey over the last year. Isaack had a fantastic year at St. Andrew's College. He played soccer in the fall and ran track and field in the spring and finished the year by winning the Colonel Tiltson award, 'a courage under fire award' for the student who was deemed by their teachers to have put in the most effort into education and other school activities. We would have liked for Isaack to have stayed at SAC and they did offer a larger scholarship for him to enter grade 10, but his Canadian visa was unfortunately not renewed when we made the application (and to complicate matters the visa workers have been on strike for almost a year). Because of the Canadian immigration rules and to not impact on Isaack's ability to reapply and return to Canada at a later date we had him return to Tanzania in September 2013. After Isaack's return to Tanzania, we started to look for good educational opportunities for him there so he can complete high school. Thankfully a boarding school in Arusha has taken an interest in him largely due to strong references from previous teachers. Isaack has been offered a spot at St. Constantine's School where they take several orphan students per year, who, like Isaack, have good potential and great personalities but would not have the opportunity to go to private school in Tanzania. The school has also realized Isaack's potential for sports leadership and he will take on a role as assistant to the Director of the sports programs at the school when he is not in the classroom. We are so grateful that St. Constantine's is giving Isaack this chance. They are providing Isaack with some support towards his tuition and they have asked us to raise $5000 towards living expenses, school uniform and health fees. Our goal is to raise a bit more because Indiegogo keeps 4% and if we raise over our target it will go towards school fees for next year.

Hence, we are reaching out to you again to ask for support for Isaack in his new school. We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Isaack last year in what proved to be an extremely educational and fulfilling year for him at St. Andrew's. It is our goal to keep Isaack supported so that he can complete his secondary school education in Tanzania over the next two years. We know he will make all of us proud no matter what challenges he faces. We will be updating Isaack's Soccer Dream fundraising campaign on Indiegogo over the next few days and we hope that, if you are able, you or your family members will be able to contribute something (however small) towards Isaack's education.
