In December 2020, we made an announcement to raise funds to give out courses to people for Christmas.

A few weeks before, we had asked people who were interested to fill a short form with their preferred course and how the course would contribute towards them achieving their goals.

How it went

In total, we raised $1,515.

Of the 344 people who applied, we gave out courses to 116 people, and 50% are women.

We gave out the courses on Christmas morning, and the "Thank you" messages were really heart-warming.

Here's a particularly sweet one →

Here's how the courses were distributed:

So far, we've gotten shoutouts from people who have successfully completed their courses:
