First school to receive books



2 months ago Helen's teacher-colleague invited her to kindly visit the new primary school, which he had helped to start in his area in the hills. Although Helen had a painful ankle at the time she just managed the 20 minute walk up a hilly footpath.


Local parents had started a school with 100 pupils. They had rented 4 rooms, and hired 4 teachers, who taught 4 classes from nursery to P3, but but with no books or even teacher-guides. Imagine the response when Helen arrived a 2nd time, laden with books for all.


We now have received book money for 4 schools, but are still aiming for 10 (see blog 'Early Readers'). Would you like to help transform a school?
