WHEN A DREAM BECOMES REALITY IN 2008
Almost a year ago God gave us the vision to build a new school at Alara. Plans and schematics were drawn up by my son (upper left), and now the school is nearing completion (upper right). It should now be completed by December 2008. We now need funds to equip the new school with desks and chairs as the new school year begins in January. For more details of this wondrous project, and the latest developments, see here. How fortunate are we? Here we are, enjoying the benefits of comfortable homes, good food, and luxuries such as computers and the internet, and not the least, good education for our children. Not everyone in the world is so fortunate. We've all seen examples on the television, and at times, it brings a lump to our throats and tears to our eyes. What happens there in third world countries when the TV crews have gone home, and we get on with our lives? Those people we have seen stay there, and get on with their lives too. A small donation can make a huge difference, especially if that donation is made direct and not soaked up by high administrative costs. We believe in taking money direct to where it matters and spending it where it matters.
The Kenya Project at Dago Kokore School, KisumuIn 2002 we became involved in a contact with the Dago Kokore Primary school in Kenya through a twinning scheme set up by one of our local schools, the primary school at Ruardean in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. The photographs here show the success story. One of which we can all be proud to have been a part. That includes all of the Archive CD Books supporters and all who have purchased some CDs from us. It is you who have provided the money for this successful project. We have had some outstanding successes! That's because ALL money collected has been sent DIRECT to the school. Nothing has been used for "overheads". In 2003 we provided a water tank - so the children could drink! We also supplied lots of class room equipment.
In 2004 we provided money for class room improvements. Basic things such as concrete floors, doors and windows, plus more simple stuff such as pencils and other basic resources. In 2005 we built a brand new Infant School !!
In 2006 friends of Archive CD Books have paid for the fees for lots of children in the infant school, and we have already embarked on supplying more resources and infrastructure, such as plastering, decorations, a pathway, the supply of electricity to the school, and wiring in some of the class rooms. ALARA SCHOOLAlara Primary School is close to Dago Kokore,. We opened a new project for Alara in 2007, first supplying a telephone to the school, and then a new administration block. In 2008 we are building a whole new primary school at Alara!
Many thanks for you support!
