Austin is in grade 2 at Chikumbuso. His grandmother is raising him and he has great hopes of one day being a doctor. This starts with learning to read and he seems to be making great progress. He loves Chikumbuso and loves coming to school every day with his neighbors. The problem with his classroom is that there are 40 students in one very small space therefore seating has become an issue. (The silver lining on this is that our students are motivated to get to school early in order to get a seat!)
This month, before school starts up again in September, we would like to raise money for some classroom seating.
Our fifth grade class is short four desks and all of our classrooms K-5 need some sitting space on a rug. Please help these kids as they come from far and wide to go to our free school. We would like to give them a bit of comfort as they study to improve their lives.
