Suspension of placement extended to 7th May 2020

Facing the COVID-19 outbreak

Dear friends of SCI,

We are trying hard to better understand the realities of working towards our mission in this new COVID-19 reality. We are working to create alternative activities and creating a framework to allow our planned activities to continue in a different format. As you can imagine, this is a new discussion and there are many variables to take into account.

We have therefore decided to extend the suspension of placements to 7th May 2020 included.

Discussions are continuing and we will keep you updated. Thank you again for you patience and support.

As always stay safe, stay healthy and stay kind.

With hope for the future,

SCI International
