New News and New Sponsorship!

Terere Kids Project is happy to announce a new partnership with Academia Gorila from Poland. Academia Gorila has agreed to monthly donations to help support Gabriel Barcelar and Caue da Silva. In addition to making sure that these two are cover on a monthly basis, they have also committed to trying to raise additional funds amongst their clients!
