PLEASE HELP NSOBE COMMUNITY SCHOOL IN ZAMBIA FOR VULNERABLE GIRLS AND BOYS AND THE BUILDING OF A 'SAFE HOUSE' DORMITORY.
I am traveling to back to NSC with group of Transition Year students with Cuala GAA club in June. The young people will fund and build a dormitory to provide safe accommodation for 20 girls of secondary school - to empower and enable them to finish their education in a safe and supportive location within the school environment. All money raised goes straight to NCS (travel costs are paid by the volunteers themselves).
NCS is an amazing place that produces magic, on a shoe string charitable budget, for 520 girls and boys. The school provides education, food, safety and opportunity for some of the poorest children in the world - and gives them ambition and hope for the future. Below has some background on the school and there is also a video.
Please donate what you can to help this wonderful place. Each euro goes a very long way in Nsobe - for example €40 covers the cost of educating and feeding one of their pupils for a YEAR! EVERY euro/pound donated will go directly to the school.
Go raibh maith agat
