Important information
Farewell Message
It all started with a single classroom and grew into a company. We built everything from our own savings, and we did it all with our own hands: renovating offices, transporting furniture and equipment, setting up digital environments for lessons on second-hand laptops, negotiating partnerships, and so much more.
We began with just a few used laptops. Though we struggled through COVID-19, we could not withstand the impact of the war. It is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to cease operations.
We are truly grateful and happy that we were able to bring joy and smiles to children along the way. 🕊️ We wish everyone peace and clear skies ahead. Until we meet again… 🫶
