Bonjour; je vous invite a participer a notre action collective afin de pouvoir apporter de l'aide a nos enfants. Merci
During the December holidays, I booked a trip to visit my home country, Guinea. This time around, I decided to visit my mother’s village, Wololo, located within the city of Mamou. I fell in love with this beautiful village, but my heart was left completely broken when I encountered one of the schools. A school so small, it cannot contain all the young students.
The school was introduced in the year 2002 with only 18 students to begin with. As the years went on, more bright minds enrolled, making it a total of 95 students. There are only 2 classrooms and 2 teachers to accommodate 95 students. One can only imagine how overwhelmed the educators must be feeling. From Monday to Saturday, they commute for 14km on half-built roads to a building that has no electricity, no water, or a functioning bathroom. Additionally, students do not have enough books or stationery to work with. Despite these unimaginable circumstances, it brought joy to my heart to see the students and teachers be so optimistic. The students would sing and radiate positivity and were just so eager to learn. Teachers are really the backbones of society, the hopefulness of the two educators is what has inspired me to share their story today.
No child deserves to learn in such an environment and no teacher deserves to work in such conditions. I truly believe that change is possible however I cannot do this alone. I am reaching out to all of you beautiful and generous people to have hope and donate towards this cause.
Our goals are the following:
Fix the bathrooms, electricity, and water issues
Add more classrooms
Provide stationary for the students
Compensation for the educators
Any amount you decide to contribute will make a huge difference. All your donations will be used effectively and efficiently in order to reach our goals and to show their gratitude, each donor’s name will be engraved onto the walls of the school.
Let’s make this happen!
Thank you and God Bless you.
