Bermuda Overseas Missions Virtual Tag Month
The Bermuda Overseas Missions [BOM] will be holding the virtual tag month in February “to help support the school children of Malawi achieve their dreams of a decent education.”
A spokesperson said, “Bermuda Overseas Missions [BOM] is now in its third year to continue supporting High School Children to attend school. This charity focuses on mentoring youth by taking students from Bermuda to different countries to help construct family homes for needy families. Additionally the charity supports development of education as well as helping communities to be supplied with clean drinking water.
“As part of its mission to improve the lives of impoverished families around the world, BOM visited the Mulanje district of Malawi in 2015, 2017 and 2019. During the visit in 2017 while working in the village of Magreta, the group discovered that girls as young 12 and 13 were being married off because families could not afford to educate them.
