The Nkoanekoli Primary School Project

Great news, the children received their first delivery of books, supplies and food!  With the $1000 that was sent over to Tanzania, the children now have more up to date books. Even though they still have to share the books at least they are receiving the curriculum the rest of the public schools have been.  They also have enough food to last them 3 weeks for school lunches.  Small steps, but very important ones too.  The teachers and children are very grateful for all your genorisity, as am I.  I'll be sending an email update soon and posting a few pictures of the delivery.  If you want a more in depth update, please join the email list by going to the contact page or emailing saharafrica@gmail.com.

Hello all!  This is just an update to say that the total is above $1500 now and steadily rising.  I have a goal of raising $12,000.  There are 573 students at Nkoanekoli.  The costs of textbooks (for each subject), notebooks, pens, lunch, etc will be around $18 dollars per child.  I am also aiming to provide the children with some sort of English Language Learning Program.  I'm hoping $2000 of the goal will supply that.  But right now, these children are in need of a basic education and a healthy lunch!

It has been a month since this project has begun and so far I've raised $1169.  Thanks to everyone for their support!!
