Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dorcas International has implemented preventative solutions and has made decisions regarding upcoming events that prioritize community health and the practice of social distancing. With that said, unfortunately, we are canceling all of our Global Classroom courses scheduled for this spring.

Thank you to everyone who signed up for one of the courses. In doing so, you were not only supporting our initiative but also the class instructors, who are local artists and professionals in the community. We are sad to see the classes canceled, but as a matter of public safety, we feel it is the right thing to do.

We will be refunding the respective class prices to those who signed up over the next few weeks.

However, we would also like to give everyone the option to donate the paid class amount to the instructors of the courses. Many of them are small, local restaurant or business owners who dedicated their time and resources to be a part of our Global Classroom — and due to COVID-19, many of their businesses and livelihoods will be affected in some way. Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Thank you again to those who supported our Global Classroom! In the future, we will have other initiatives and events that we would love for you to be a part of and to attend. Please check our website and social media for updates.

Stay safe and healthy!
