He traveled fearlessly. He was very dedicated, he loved a good challenge & personally impacted digital learning for many hundreds of children around the world. He patiently shared his knowledge with us other volunteers and so many teachers too. Tony had a meaningful impact wherever he helped out. Kishwer, you were both so fortunate to connect and work together. Tony's presence and knowhow was indeed a huge gift to your Pakistan schools. I'm sure he pesonally treasured the opportunity to work in Pakistan too. The children in the Philippines no doubt were huge beneficiaries too.

I tried contacting him via various means that I new but there was no response. First of all thank you for reaching out to us. Over the years Tony had become a family member, often in our house over long periods spending time with our children and grandchildren. Your message, though heart breaking, is very gratefully received. He visited Pakistan several times and was much loved and admired by the children and staff at the school. An extremely generous and kind human being, who gave without ever expecting anything in return. I am glad that he was not alone in the end and had his devoted friend with him caring for him. Our project is working very well. The last thing that Tony did on his trip here in February 2020, just before Covid hit the world, was to make us customized loadable material for each class for English, Sciences, Math, Music, and countless other things we had asked him for. Our kids are still using all that and the material he gave us is well preserved. He also built us two NUC Servers on that trip, all at his own expense, which are still working. The children he taught Python and scratch to are today working as programmers or graphic designers. So he has certainly left a legacy behind and left the world a better place for him having lived in it. He lived a good life, what more can one ask for. I will always treasure each moment I spent with him. I can see from the pictures you sent that he was still trying to smile as he always did. I too have some truly memorable photos of him from over the years. I am sharing a few with you from his last trip in February2020. We would have met once again but for COVID. But that is life.

Our organization is heavily investing/donating in Rwandan schools and sponsorships. Now I need to inform you that Tony passed away in December in Palawan/Philippines. He was hosted by Romeo (Romy) Bacuel, who cared for him during his hospital stay and home care. He suffered from a stroke and did not recover again. He died a few weeks after his 85th birthday. Emmanuel Bandirimba from Rwanda visited him and Tony enjoyed his company. I hope, your projects are continuing and your help is effective. Let me know if you have anything to exchange concerning Tony.Beste regards Rudolf Simon ———————————————————————————————————— Care for Kids e.V.
