31 Drums of School Supplies Shipped out

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

31 drums being shipped out

We are excited to announce that thanks in part to your generosity 31 drums full of school supplies left the Tenessee office on Dec 1st to be shipped to Sierra Leone.

These drums are full of school supplies that will make a difference for hundreds of students in Freetown, Kamawornie, Bo, and Makeni. Students from elementary school through high school will receive much-needed supplies including- pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, book bags, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, glue, and more. The drums also include calculators, solar lights, and kindles/e readers/iPads. Teaching and classroom supplies are also included for teachers such as chalk, teaching materials, and books.

Your support is truly appreciated by the students in Sierra Leone. If you have not had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support to provide more children with the educational resources they need to be the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone.

Countdown to Giving Tuesday With New School Chairs

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Chapel Int'l Primary School Student with new desk

Thanks to your support, 340 tables and chairs were transported and delivered to schools in the Freetown / Western area - including Chapel International Primary School, Dantrimark Academy, Prince of Wales Secondary School, REC Primary School, Savage Square Municipal Primary School, and Services Secondary School.

The students, teachers/school leadership, were very thankful to receive the desks and chairs. This meets a definite need as schools need new furniture with increased enrollment. Also, some schools are moving from 2 shifts to 1 shift - meaning a substantial demand for more chairs and desks. This also reduces any additional costs parents will have to bear in purchasing furniture for the school.

We invite you to countdown with us to #GivingTuesday, November 29th. GlobalGiving’s GivingTuesday campaign will last 24 hours, from 00:00:00 EST to 23:59:59 EST, on November 29, 2022.

GlobalGiving has bonus funds that will make each donation received go even further, which will help more students in Sierra Leone with their educational needs.

Let's #MoveAMillion for Future Leaders in Sierra Leone!
