Usually each fall we gather with you -- our great supporters -- to celebrate the successes you made possible and kick off a new school year. This year we can't gather physically, but we still want to celebrate with you! Join us Sunday, November 14 for an online, free gathering celebrating the end of our Gift of Education Giving Challenge.
My First Visit to a Mali Rising School
In late October, I had my first chance to visit a Mali Rising partner school. As a brand new staff person, I was so excited to finally see first-hand what we do and meet the great teachers and kids we work with. For my first trip, I went to the village of Sebela, which is home to Tim Gibson Middle School.
I passed my graduation exam thanks to the Girls' Project!

Help Us Welcome Ousmane to the Mali Rising Team
We are more than excited to welcome a new member to the Mali Rising team — Ousmane Coulibaly. As of October 1, Ousmane is our Operations Coordinator.

Learn More About the Teacher Project
Without teachers, a school is just a building. With our supporters' help, we invest in teachers to make sure schools can deliver on the promise of education. A volunteer, Lawrence, recently made us a great video highlighting our teachers and the work we do to support them and I wanted to use this chance to share more information about this important project.
Getting the Second Chance We All Deserve
Even Expert Teachers Love a Peer Meeting
Kadidia mentioned that she would be delighted to take part in more Mali Rising Peer Meetings. These meetings would allow her to learn from her peers and share her ten-year teaching experience with other French teachers. She said that peer meetings are now one of the things that will make her very enthusiastic about her teaching job because the meetings will both allow her to meet friends she has not seen for many years and also allow her to improve her teaching skills. “This means I can be more helpful to my students in Jade and Gabe Mellor Middle School,” says Kadidia.
