Equipment/Facility SCH Kids in Nigeria. Empower

The Timeout 4Africa Foundation continues to aid and encourage kids to stay in school and reach for the stars in Minna, Nigeria. In November, 2015, project leader Jonathan Kolo and his family visited Magaji International School, the newest school that the Foundation is supporting in Minna. 

Magaji International School is a primary school located in the village of Maikunkele in the outskirts of Minna township. The school is 4 years old, has approximatley125 students, 7 teachers, and a head master. During our 45-minute visit to the school, we provided the students words of encouragement about staying in school and donated over 200 notebooks and writing materials to both students and teachers. It was very touching and rewarding to see the big smiles on the faces of students and teachers after they received our donations.

The head master, Mr. Jacob, expressed his sincere thank you to the Timeout4Africa Foundation for choosing Magaji International School to assist with their educational needs. He assured us that the kids will make the best use of the supplies.

As always, we want to take this time to thank our donors for the continuous support. The Foundation would not be able to do this much-needed work in Minna without your support. We are also glad to inform you of our recent promotion to Superstar status on the Global Giving platform. This promotion will ensure us better visibility on the Global Giving site and will further expose us to more sponsors and possibly more donors.

HelloTimeout 4Afica Foundation Family,

We are very excited to keep you informed about our project in Minna at the ECWA Primary School.  Last week our Timeout  4Africa team visited the school to check on the students and the conditions of the school.  Also they examined the donated furniture to see how it is holding. up.

Team leader Dr Kolo was warmly received by staff and students.  Faith and Oyenye (our notebook poster girls) lead a class team to welcome them.  They had lunch with the students and had a little chat session with the kids. Dr Kolo says the donated furniture is holding up very well.  She also met with the Principal to talk about our next drive in Novermber, when we will be furnishing two more class rooms, covering 75 students and providing 150 students will notebooks and pencils.

We want to take this time to thank everyone for their continuous support, especially those who donated during the Microsoft Youth Spark bonus day.  We raised over $17,000 which included the bonuses. Thank you very much!  As we get to the end of the year we will be Hosting Our Annuall Basketball and Life Clinic in the last week of November.Stay tuned for updates and picture.
