2020 was certainly a terrible year for the global community. In this 2021 inaugural blog, we first sum up the activities of the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation for the past year, and then look forward to a brighter new year. In 2020, we did not grant any Volunteer Service Award due to the restrictions on overseas travel. We awarded four Fellows Program grants to in-country recipients working in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jordan, and Uganda. We were able to install solar energy packages in 36 more rural primary schools in Tanzania, and we funded the first year of a Challenge Grant to Green Empowerment for solar energy systems in health clinics in Uganda. Despite the Pandemic, most of the organization we worked with were able to carry on with their program after making modifications to conform with pandemic requirements. We renewed 7 Project Grants and awarded 6 new ones. There is no doubt that 2020 was a backward step in reducing Global Poverty, however the Foundation remains committed to “Building A World Where All People Can Be Happy.”
