Donations for Education in Ngaramtoni

We are always grateful to received donations through the Foundation and there are so many small improvements which make a massive difference to the quality of education. We recently received a donation from a previous volunteer, Tore Kristensen, to be used in Ngaramtoni schools.

We decided to spend the money at Timbolo Primary where our volunteer Andre Le Gouais had identified a massive shortage of English textbooks for Standard 3 and Standard 4. For Standard 3 there were only 5 textbooks to be shared between a whole class. With Tore’s money we were able to buy enough books for pupils to share 1 between 2 in both classes, something that has already started making a big difference.

The other issue at Timbolo, that our previous volunteer Anne Davis told us about was the state of the blackboards. Some of them were so poor that it was hard for teachers to write on them and the children couldn’t read what was there. Tore’s money has paid for 5 blackboards to be repainted which will hopefully make life easier for both pupils and teachers.
