Amazing. I’ll reccommend my friends to visit you. Do you want to write more about it?

Hi LearnAsOne, I have just stumbled across your webpage via facebook and am very intrigued to know what progress you have made with this great idea over the last year! I have been volunteering in Zambia since November and have run two fundraising events using the internet for a community school in the suburbs of Livingstone during this time. Through this I managed to raise enough funds to kit the whole school (300 pupils) out in uniforms and pay two teacher’s salaries for a year. My only problem is that these funds will only last a year and there are many other problems that the school needs finance for in order to tackle. Are you considering any schools in this region and is it a must that they are linked to an NGO?
Keep up the good work! Lois

@ Adam - thanks for your message. Anything you can write would be greatly appreciated. Please drop me an email (see the contacts page) if you want any more information.
@ Lois - good work in Zambia! Yes we would be considering schools in the Livingstone region. In fact, we are happy to consider schools anywhere across the country. And in answer to your NGO question, it’s a yes as well I’m afraid. We are looking to build partnerships with NGOs who have the capacity to build a number of schools in one region. The idea being to keep costs down and share learning from school to school.
That said, I’ll drop you an email so we can discuss things further. Steve
