Easy and important

Gratefully and graciously received...

Now, let's get to work...

I found the task of buying 600 books and 600 pens effortless and straightforward. This is easy African Aid

It did not take long for me to bring them to school. Quickly and efficiently, Frederic organised with each class teacher the drawing of a list of those children known to be the poorest of the poor. The local authorities at the Kivu Sector have identified such children and they do need some material help.

So it was good, the other day, to go along with Frederic and a few other teachers to hand-in these 600 pens and notebooks. Children who received them were very grateful and I was impressed by the orderly and sensitive manner in which this was done. Those who were lucky enough not to qualify did not object.

I said a few words to all of them after the handing-in procedure - about where these notebooks and pens were coming from – (Abana, Australia, wanting to help, importance of education etc.).

Next year a similar operation will be conducted, this is one of the ongoing help that Abana Committee has promised to provide until it is no longer required.
