Tanzania

Following the Ms Norman’s visit to Tanzania this Summer 2013 we are currently trying to establish links with some government schools and a charity school in the Kilimanjaro region of beautiful Tanzania.

Welbeck children are thinking about the lives of children there and we have been talking about how we can raise money to help a charity build a new school for the children of the area on the outskirts of the town Moshi.

The charity school the children currently go to is not big enough or good enough for the 200 children who go there. There are only 2 small classrooms and one is outside which is very hot in summer and extremely cold in winter.

Sixty children learn in an outside shed which is their classroom. The play space is dusty with chickens roaming round.

Children walk a long way to go to school. All the children want to attend school to learn.

The charity “Second chance for girls” was set up to help girls who were in danger.

They now take boys and girls and they are busy raising money to build a much better, bigger school nearby.

We want to help them as much as we can. We have already raised several hundred pounds to buy resources and then we want to send two teachers to help them with their planning and in the development of the curriculum.
