Even a simple classroom can make a world of difference.
Three classrooms were opened in
November 2007, thanks to the generosity of international donors. More
classrooms are needed, to accommodate all the children and school
supplies from textbooks to desks are in short supply. Funds for a hot lunch program essential. Their are not enough
teachers, salaries and accommodation for one teacher is $300 a month. Children, who walk as far
as 7 kilometers to school, each way, often on an empty stomach, need a
hot lunch to be provided. Provide an individual scholarship, $300 a
year, and we will include you on the donors page of the Charming The
World, Maasai book. I am astounded at the number of children in this region that still lacked access to basic essentials like fresh
water and food. This is an opportunity for the first generation of
Maasai girls to go to school, and their first opportunity to experience
physical and intellectual autonomy. Their young fathers appreciate what
education did for them and want to share this gift with all their
children. This generation values education and can transform the
brutality of poverty into potential.
