- Break ground to build a home suitable for the older TOUCO students who are unable to return to the village or to extended family after the completion of elementary school.
- Focus on job skills training opportunities for older students. Vocational training, apprenticeships, etc.
- Continue implementing and developing the Medical team’s recommendations. As well as customized physical therapy plans for several children with developmental issues, and ongoing C-19 safety.
- Modest increases in acreage allowing further planting of avocado, cassava, and tree planting and management. Expansions of family animal enclosures for cows, pigs, and chickens.
- The board is working to set up a TOUCO Foundation for long term financial support of Fr Bruno’s mission. If you are able to make a large donation now, or would like to include TOUCO in your will / estate planning, please reach out so we can include you in these important planning efforts.
TOUCO strives to meet its obligations (e.g. registrations, operating structure, monitoring donor funds, etc.) and provide the resources local children will need to grow and prosper.
