      i think the cause will be more popular or successful because it is created by Yao Ming... a very famous basketball player. That is why it got my attention.
  • Over 50,000 U.S. dollars were raised on the spot, and more is expected, as the word is spread by the media and passionate attendees. All proceeds will support the Yao Ming Foundation's rebuilding efforts in Sichuan, which was hit by a magnitude-8.0 tremor on May 12, 2008.
  • We have committed to building five schools in China

    I agree, that joining up with an already successful project is a worthy endeavor. You need to tag this by schools and also the country name.

      This is very interesting. This tells of a very poor school system in Africa. I think that this would be a good choise to rebuild a school for because as you can see it is a very poor system, and the schools are inadequate for learning perpouses. They need a way to feed hungry children, They also have very crowded classrooms and they need more staff, They also need books.

    This is a good article. Did you forget to tag this article? Minimally, tag it according to the country name and schools. Can you locate Soweto on the map? Can you write up what their needs are?

schools in Africa

  • Our aim is to raise money to build schools in rural Africa through our partner NGO Strategic Humanitarian Services (SHUMAS), Cameroon. In addition to clean, hygienic and well-constructed classrooms, we aim to ensure clean drinking water and sanitation facilities are available at each of the schools we support, in order to help improve the health of the children.
  • Since 2003, SHUMAS, our partner organisation in Cameroon, has received over 500 applications from rural villages asking help to rebuild their local schools. Of this number, an initial 150 were identified as 'top priority' because of the state of delapidation of the buildings. Building Schools For Africa started fundraising in April 2007. In our first two years we have funded the reconstruction of eleven schools. It costs so little to build a village primary school in Cameroon, and each school improves the lives of thousands of children. Will you help us?
  • £10 will buy a set of wall charts for a classroom.£25 will buy a set of text books for a teacher.£80 will buy a sewing machine.£350 will help us build toilets for a school.£500 will help us install clean drinking water.£3500 will pay for the building of a new classroom.

      The schools in Cameroon really don't have many of the things the schools here have. This is another example of what we can do to help the children of Cameroon. It also shows that the People of Cameroon really depend on us to donate money to fix their schools...

      To me, it seems that Cameroon is the place on Earth we have to help by making them schools. They have the most trouble, because they need many things such as "clean, hygenic and well-constructed classroom, we aim to ensure clean drinking water and sanitation facilities are available... in order to improve the help of the children.

      I also see that the health of the students is also a very big and imprtant factor of education in places like Cameroon. Maybe we can do something about that as well.

      Over here in the text, they directly tell us what they need: A new school. They also tell us that many of their schools have to be rebuilt, and that there is an organization helping them already. I am not sure if this could be important right now, but it shows that people are already trying to help.

      These before and after pictures show a dramatic change in the appearence of the class rooms. They all seem to appreciate the help the people from else where gave them. One big change is the fact that they now have a roof over their heads. They also have desks to work on. Other than that, the walls and floor look so much cleaner and safer than before. I feel that we can do the same in Google Sketch-Up to help the other schools in Cameroon and other countries in Africa that need help.

      I think the reason we can do the same things with schools from countries in the same region as Cameroon is because they probably face the same problems (Climate, clean drinking water, resources, etc...). Therefore, we can to the same to countries like Gabon and Nigeria in terms of helping their schools

    This is the article I want to share. I think that people in Cameroon need help with their schools and education. I think that they have the most problems(see the pictures). Their needs are simple, but they will make their school all the better.

    "This project will provide a total of four primary schools and will also include the refurbishment of the local medical centre and the provision of solar-pumped clean drinking water for villages. This is a major project, which will be spread over two years, and will greatly enhance the lives of thousands of subsistence farming families in the NW Province of Cameroon." Schools in the villages of Africa need stable schools. Villages such as Dzeng and Bamdzeng have unstable schools. The schools have a horrible learning environments. One desk is filled with four to five people. The roof also effects thier learning. If they go to school on a rainy day or something, they will not be able to learn. The roof is not made well and has many holes going through it. There is not even enough space for everyone to sit down in some of these schools. The schools need help.
