We’re excited to announce the completion of Girl

We’re excited to announce the completion of Girls Supporting Girls’ latest school in Sinthiane, Senegal, funded in partnership with the Lycée Francais de Chicago.

Thanks to your support, 102 children now have new classrooms and improved learning conditions for the upcoming school year!

The community of Sinthiane contributed the land and natural resources such as sand, water and gravel to the project. Sinthiane residents also contributed 1,387 volunteer work days to the building of their new school!.

We can’t wait to see more pictures of girls and boys learning side by side in this new school.

Zaila Avant-garde won the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee Thursday evening, becoming the first African-American champion in the event's history.

Upon her win, Avant-garde, who is also a talented basketball player, jumped up and down and let out an excited shout as confetti rained down on the stage.

Chaitra Thummala, a 12-year-old from Frisco, Tex., and Bhavana Madini, a 13-year-old from New York City, came in second and third place, respectively. Jody-Anne Maxwell of Jamaica, who won the bee in 1998, was the competition’s first Black champion.

The school in Caserio Sanguijuela has eight teachers serving 140 students in seven grade levels. None of this would be possible without your generous support!

Watch for news of the groundbreaking of our second Guatemala school later this year.

NASA's miniature Mars helicopter Ingenuity achieve

NASA's miniature Mars helicopter Ingenuity achieved the first powered flight on another planet on Monday.

Mimi Aung is the project manager. Under her guidance, engineers demonstrated it is possible to build a lightweight aircraft that could fly in Mars’ thin atmosphere, and then built it.

"It's real," Aung said moments after first data from the helicopter was processed to the applause and cheers of engineers in mission control.

“We can now say that human beings have flown a rotorcraft on another planet," she added.
