At the end of the school year in the United States, mothers find pencil nubs, half used notebooks, one sneaker from gym class, and countless half eaten granola bars in their children's backpacks.
Not so at Chikumbuso! Our secondary school students scrimp and save and literally beg for the money to buy school supplies and food. They use their pencils till they're unable to hold them, they use the back and front of their notebook paper, and they are so grateful for any meals we are able to provide them.
Please take a moment to realize how fortunate you are to have access to school supplies and nourishment and think about giving the same abundance to some of our incredible students. These kids are the best of the best at Chikumbuso and they need all the help they can get!
