Today at “Help One Child Thrive,” I dedicated my time to reviewing the work completed over the past month. This task is critical, requiring me to meticulously examine an extensive Excel file with over 700 lines, each line representing a child and their received support.

The main objective of this review is to identify any children who have not yet received their food and to uncover any mistakes I may have made. Ensuring that no child is left behind and that all records are accurate is paramount. After identifying any discrepancies, I promptly send reminders to the team to address these issues.

In addition to these reminders, I also send apologies to the sponsors. These messages are not meant to cause any discomfort but to uphold transparency and accountability. It is essential to keep our operations and funds well-organized, and acknowledging and correcting mistakes is a vital part of this process. Errors happen occasionally, and each one is a learning opportunity.

Despite the workload and the difficulties, the satisfaction of seeing the results of our hard work is immense. The joy and gratitude that come from knowing we are positively impacting these children’s lives make all the effort worthwhile. I am constantly reminded of the beauty of our mission and feel deeply thankful for the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful work.

As we (nearly) close another month, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment and a renewed commitment to continue helping children thrive. This journey is challenging but incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to the ongoing progress and success of our efforts.
