ENGLISH Hi everyone, we have reactivated this fundraiser, no cruising bar has been able to reopen for the moment in Gran Canaria. Our establishment has been closed for 6 months, we were able to reopen 2 weeks, but it was very complicated to manage the problem of masks inside, and if we had had a police control, it was a fine of 600,000 euros, so we decided to close. We had to reopen this weekend, we invested in doing more work to be able to reopen safely with the creation of a lots Glory Holes, unfortunately following the resurgence of cases of covid-19 in Gran Canaria, the Canarian government has decided that all bars without a terrace must remain closed, so our bar is once again penalized. No government help since the end of June, if this unfortunately continues The Hole will have to close permanently. Despite all our efforts and investment it becomes a rather complicated situation, we had thought of other options, to open a terrace, but for those who know our bar, we are not in Yumbo, and come where we are located just to take a drink, we know no one will come. Merci GERMAN Hallo allerseits, wir haben diese Spendenaktion reaktiviert. Tous les paiements sont securisesaveec tous mes remerciements. Sina Loketa is looking for 8500 to equip 150 local youth scholars and 10 teachers within the Bidi Bidi refugee settlement with mobile phones and internet access so they can benefit from distance learning resources through the online platform Coursera for Refugees. As the impact of COVID-19 has already surpassed what many though possible, there has been an outsized effect on education, with refugee populations disproportionately affected as access to resources is extremely limited. The situation at the Bidi Bidi refugee settlement is no different. As education activities around the world turn towards 21st century tools, refugees and marginalized communities are being left behind. COVID-19 has reminded us just how deep we are all connected as human beings and how much we depend on one another. Your generosity will help support refugees in Bidibidi Settlement during these difficult times, including students, entrepreneurs, and scholars who have no access to e-learning materials. SINA LOKETA is a refugee youth-led nonprofit organization in Bidibidi refugee settlement in Uganda that works to strengthen creative capacities of young people to become self-actualized and develop social capital in refugee and host communities through social entrepreneurship and connectivity. Through the UNHCR Connectivity fund, SINA LOKETA was funded in June 2019 to experiment with computing technology to create community networks in Bidibidi settlement upon winning the 2018 UNHCR Innovation award. SINA LOKETA was targeting constructing a Community network Innovation center to create access to communications technology and e-learningeducationskills development trainings for a self-reliant and improved livelihood in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement Camp.
