By Amy M Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Nathaniel

Dear Project Supporters,

Your continued support is greatly appreciated as the students in Freetown, Sierra Leone just started back to school this past month. One of the students that directly benefited from your generous support is Nathaniel.

Nathaniel is in his second year of Senior Secondary School. He loves going to school and his favorite subject is physics. Nathaniel would like to be a medical doctor when he finishes school. He is so thankful for your support that covered his school expenses for tuition and school supplies.

Your support has truly made a difference for Nathaniel and other students in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We welcome your ongoing support as we continue to provide children in Sierra Leone with the resources they need to be the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone. We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Warm regards,

Amy and the Develop Africa team

Sylvester Visits Success Tall Academy in Freetown

By Amy M Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Success Tall Academy Welcomes Sylvester

Dear Project Supporters,

In June 2019, Sylvester Renner, President of Develop Africa, had the opportunity to visit the Success Tall Academy Nursery and Preparatory School in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The school is located at the Western part of Freetown, off Old School, Hill Station - Hill Top. The community is a deprived one. The school was opened to help in nation-building by providing a learning environment for deprived kids.

99 kids with eager-to-learn looks on their faces welcomed Sylvester. Develop Africa is thankful for your support that is assisting Success Tall Academy with school supplies and scholarships since the 2016-17 school year. YOU are making a difference.

The headteacher of the school expressed his gratitude during Sylvester’s visit in this video-

My name is Lahai Turay. I am the headteacher for Success Tall Academy and Nursery Preparatory School. Actually, this school has been in existence from 2016 to 2019. It's taken three years now, close to four years, but as a school, we have come to know Develop Africa. Back when we started in 2016 you know is when they actually started to help our school with materials. You know like books and pencils, bags and a lot more.

Indeed, Develop Africa has played a significant role in the life of our pupils.

We welcome your ongoing support as we continue to provide children at Success Tall Academy and other future leaders in Sierra Leone with the resources they need. We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

Warm regards,

School Supplies Making a Difference in Freetown

By Amy M Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support helped ship these much-needed supplies to future leaders in Freetown, Sierra Leone this past month. During the course of the distribution a total number of 82 kids from 5 different schools received school supplies:

26 kids from the UMC Primary School Calaba Town
20 from FAWE Primary School
11 from the New Life Kings Kids Preparatory School
15 from the Stella Maris Primary School- Juba
10 from Lisam Primary - Juba

A local TV station, SLBS aired this clip about the distribution and other Develop Africa programs.

In the clip, the Program Manager gave an overview of activities and interventions of Develop Africa Sierra Leone such as: the setting up of the Creating Pathways Centre established for girls who got pregnant during the course of the Ebola outbreak, scholarship for less privileged kids across the country, supply of learning materials to different schools right across the country, distribution of mosquito nets to kids, post mudslide and flooding intervention and free computer tutorials to school going kids.

The children all received a bag each containing, three exercise books, a pack of sharpeners, eraser, paper glues, a pack of crayons and two pens, pencils and rulers. The program manager encouraged kids to take advantage of the learning materials and use them for the intended purpose and make their education as their number one priority. He made them understand that if they choose education today the world will come running to them tomorrow
