Kianga Yusef Community School Desks

Wow - thank you for your generosity everyone. Great work in achieving this goal!!!

Desks have been completed, paid for and delivered!!!

The desks being made, then transported on the back of a truck.....

Everyone from the Headmaster, to the Principal, to the students were excited to receive these.

The classroom even looks tidier with the desks.

Community School Desk Fundraising

I haven't received sufficient funds for the desks and require a further deposit.
If you would like to provide these children with desks to sit on I would really appreciate any donations urgently into the following BNZ fundraising account:

My Zanzibar Accommodation

A photo of my reality.....this is the street of the volunteer house....

Zanzibar is made up of many, many little interwoven alley's - easy to get lost in which I've done a couple of times already!!

Another resident of the hostel is Nicole pictured below - very cute, but very naughty.

My donations page has now been closed down so I can access the money before I leave - please continue to donate directly into the following BNZ fundraising account:

Kianga Yusef Community School

My last attempt at fundraising is for the Kianga Yusef Community School!! The school was set up by an individual and is staffed by the local community. It's very basic and relies heavily on contributions from volunteers. They have limited resources and currently the kids all sit on the concrete slab floor - aged 3 years to 12 years.

I would like to buy desks with pews for one class = need to raise an additional $1,500 to buy 10 of them!!

It's only 10 days before I leave, so I need to close down the donations page this week to enable me to withdraw the money for the purchase. You can still donate via my blog on "Donate to my Project" through Uncle Percy but only for a couple more days......

The quickest method of getting the money to me is directly into the following fundraising account at BNZ:

Swiwsco Orphanage Maintenance Fundraising

I'm in Zanzibar now  - what a different feeling being in a coastal town - really positive!! I'm loving it!!

I've had to wait to download these final pictures from Moshi using an internet cafe - I hope you enjoy seeing what your money has given this orphanage for something they would of just lived with otherwise.


My last few days in Moshi were spent ensuring some maintenance was completed at the orphanage with a little fundraising that was left over. They now have a door that closes on the shower......

And a bed bunk which was on the floor is fixed and sheeted up ready to use with a new mosquito net on top ready to use!! This also means there's less kids per bed with this one being usable - fantastic result everyone!!

I'll let you know what can be done for Zanzibar once I've figured out what's needed.  In the meantime, please continue to donate to the general fundraising which can be used for both Zanzibar and Bloemfontein.
