Help Jack and I get new desks and equipment for our rural school in Malawi! Help our students get the education they deserve!

Auckland

Hey guys, Jack and I are currently in Malawi working as volunteer teachers at a rural government school called Khwawa community day secondary school. This school is severely under resourced and relies largely on infrequent donations and an enormous amount of support from the local community of Khwawa. An area the school is particularly struggling in is the number of desks and the amount of equipment such as books, pens, and pencils per class. Students that are lucky enough to have a book to write in often find themselves without a desk to write on making learning very difficult. A majority of kids who attend the school have to be sponsored to pay school fees and kids are regularly dropping due to no longer being able to pay fees. The school also lacks many of the resources we take for granted such as Internet and basic stationary, sometimes we even find the teachers running out of chalk for the blackboards almost causing a complete halt to lessons. Despite this the kids turn up to school every morning with smiles on their faces and ready to learn, I'd love to see their smiles grew even wider when they realise they will all have a desk to sit at, a pen to write with, and a book to write in! We desperately need desks and equipment for 400 students. Please help me to give these kids the education everyone in New Zealand is so privileged to receive. Every donation big or small counts and is greatly appreciated. Our goal is to give these kids the education they deserve and we would be chuffed if you could all help us achieve this!
