Estonian people send Ghanaian children to school
02.09.09Today, on the first of September when all Estonian children go to school, we are happy to announce that with the help of Estonian donors 30 kids in North-Ghana can also start their schoolyear.
These 30 children in the village called Kongo have all found new
friends in Estonia who started supporting the education of these children this summer. The idea of the project is to support the kids until the end of their studies to make sure they graduate their primary and secondary school studies.
According to the project manager Aire Nurm from NGO Mondo they are very happy to see big interest shown by Estonian people. "When we started the programme in May this year with the help of Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society, we didn't know what to expect because this is the first time we gave people the chance to start thinking about children in other part of the world. Children who are
not so fortunate in their endavours to gain education. Even graduating primary school is a big dream for many kids there," said Aire Nurm.
This week is the last week to join the program for this year. Until 5th of September the donations made via our webpage
www.muudamaailma.ee will be tranferred to Kongo village primary school to support the start of school year for the primary school children. People who want to join in can also do it later this year. There are two options: to donate 600 EEK once a year or 50 EEK each month.
