Dear Donors,
We are thrilled to share that our recent fundraising race was a tremendous success, raising over €180,000! This incredible achievement has been a pivotal moment in our journey, especially with the successful acquisition of Tenuta San Leonardo, where the Scuola Alberghiera San Leonardo will soon be built.
To clarify, phase One of our mission involved several critical steps: we purchased 2.7 acres of land, including a piece of historical building from the 1400s dedicated to Saint Leonard of Noblac, where miracles were performed. Additionally, there is a medieval church of San Leonardo attached to the Tenuta, enriching the historical significance of the site. We also acquired two stone structures, each encompassing 3,500 square feet. We verified all structures, secured the necessary permits and architectural drawings, and registered the new ownership with the receiver's office. The property is adorned with beautiful olive and almond trees, adding to its charm and potential.
With phase One now complete, we are excited to move on to Face Two of our mission. Our new goal is to raise an additional €375,000 for the completion of the school. Together, we can push harder, fueled by our leadership and love for our fellow man.
Your generosity and big hearts have already made a significant impact, and we believe that together, we can achieve this goal. Every donation counts and brings us closer to creating a state-of-the-art educational facility that will benefit our community for years to come.
Thank you for your continued support!
Warm regards,
