Dear collegues,
On behalf of Dorfschulprojekt e.V. (the village school project), I would like to thank you for your generous cash donation. Your contribution makes it possible for us to foster our goals around the Akumlam community. This donation will be used to buy and transport books for the newly built library (April 2011)– Akumlam Community Library and also to repair both water supplies, that we built in 2009.
Since its inception in 2005, Dorfschulprojekt has been paying the school fees for poor and orphan kids, providing uniforms, school needs (pens, pencils, writing books), benches and also many sport equipments. We have introduced diverse programs, e.g. Dental care (providing all the kids with toothbrush and basics about teeth), Friendship Cup (motivation using sports, for kids to play together, win together, respect, determination and working hard)
Our aim is to motivate and support poor children, which we continue to strive by supporting the community too. In 2009 – 2011 we provided the community and school with drinking water supplies and also a community learning centre. Maintenance and support for both projects are required, i.e. repairs of the water supplies and also books for the primary, secondary and technical section.
These projects are only possible because of thoughtful contributions from people like you. Your generous donation will be used purposely for the repairs and purchase of books – thank you.
We plan to raise the library to a recognisable standard, where the children, pupil and women of Akumlam community would use this collection of books for a common use – to improve their education level. We employed a library assistant to supervise and administer this project. Also the Library assistant serves as a part-time teacher at the Akumlam village school.
As you know, the cost of running all these activities does not go away. We hope for your continued support in the future.
As a reminder, our association do not registered members, all donations are from friends, colleagues and friends of friends. Thus, with this limited budget we have, we do not allocate any donation for administrative purposes.
More importantly, the village community thank you. And that’s really who it’s all about.
Sincerely,
Anye Chifen,
