Shorif, Mushfiq and Sayem joined a zoom call to watch fellow Godot developers play their game and give them feedback on how they can improve it. This was a huge opportunity for them and we are very grateful to those who made this a special experience for our students.

CAFFE Swimming Lessons
October 2023 saw our first month of swimming classes at CAFFE. During this time we worked with 21 students and held over 70 hours of classes for students and teachers. We are delighted that 15 students, who were all non-swimmers when we started, can now swim at least one length of the pool, with many able to go even further. Several other students, who could already swim, have now started working on more advanced techniques such as the front crawl with side breathing.
