School Supplies Needed
for South African
Township Schools
Mission:
To deliver school supplies and enhance learning environments for children infected with AIDS in rural township schools in South Africa and other developing countries around the world.
For several years school psychology graduate students and faculty from Bowling Green State University in Ohio have been visiting black township schools in South Africa. In 2005 they learned that more than 80% of the children in some of these schools had AIDS and some had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Many of the children were homeless. Food was limited and the villagers would often cook one pot of porridge for the children, which might be their only meal of the day.
School supplies were also very limited and five children would share one pencil. Each year individuals associated with Project Learning Around the World gather and hand deliver school supplies, reading books, or small equipment to various South African township schools.
We are looking for monetary contributions to help purchase:
All monies donated will go directly to purchasing equipment, textbooks or supplies for rural township schools in South Africa and other developing countries.
Thank-you for your willingness to support this project.
