Learn more about this Program Program: School Equipment

Every village school requires basic amenities such as wells, electric generators, desks and educational materials. As the school construction comes to completion, it is still not ready for the students or teachers. Basic equipment and teaching tools are needed that enable these children to receive quality education and allow the teachers to effectively equip the children. Many schools have the children sitting on the floor because desks are not afforded.

Learn more about this Project Project: Desks

 

Project Goal: to supply 200 desks to the Good Shepherd School which totals $6,000.

Each desk costs $30.

A practical gift for the children is desks. At the present time in many of the schools, children sit on thatch mats on concrete floors with their books on their lap. It may seem insignificant, but desks are very important for the children’s education. The cement floors are hard and uncomfortable. You can provide desks for an entire classroom.

Jen Schneider - Sweet Treats for Dalits

Champion Image

In February 2009 I went to India with a group from Dalit Freedom Network Canada. We had an amazing trip. We visited Good Shepherd Schools for the Dalit children and I discovered a greater love for the Dalit kids, and all Dalit people, as well as a passion to see them freed.

Since then I have started a bakery from my home to raise money for the Dalits. People order baked goods from me (by e-mail, phone or in person) and pay for them by donation. All the profits from the sale of these homemade baked goods go to a school project for the Dalit schools. We reached the first goal of $2,500 towards a school bus in the fall of 2009. Now this is the second goal: $6,000 to supply a whole school with desks.

If you'd like to contact me about baking you can give me an email at jen.s.11@hotmail.com. I will only be able to bake up to the end of August 2010 but will be back in December 2010.
