Container of Hope
Donation protected
The Pemba Pearls Project has been on a mission to collect books, shoes, and clothing to load a 20ft sea freight container, to bring back to the poor children of Pemba Island. Every day children leave their homes and walk to school without shoes. Students with torn clothing and half empty bellies line up to enter a classroom with mats on the floor and very few supplies.
An overwhelmed teacher stands at the head of her class each day wondering how to teach a class of well over 70 students with no books.
One village parent told me “We want our children to escape the poverty we were born into and so …we struggle.
This message goes out to all those who have never had to walk without shoes, or had to wear torn clothing and leave the house with only water in their bellies.
It calls out to those teachers who work to improve the quality of education in our schools everyday and understand how frustrating it is to try to teach a lesson without supplies.
This is a direct appeal to all those who have children who are safe, well -provided for and enjoying the benefits that their education has afforded them.
Please share what you can and help us cover the cost of sending a container full of hope for the future...
