Spratley Charity Foundation - Swing Of Success
Donation protected
WHO
My name is Mark Spratley also the CEO of the Spratley charity foundation swing of success aged 42 from the UK.
I have a background within the electronic industry i.e sister company to NASA and De beers diamond trading company as a test technician. This is my past now I’m strongly involved in charity work in Sierra Leone and here’s why about seven years ago I was driving in the capital city of Sierra Leone (Freetown), when a child came to the side of my car window.
Everyone else asked me not to speak to this child as he was just begging but this little child changed my life in a wonderful way. I Lowered down the window and asked the child what he wanted, this child was the same age as my son back in the UK the child looked at me in silence with a disturbed face so I asked him again do you need money he answered no, I asked him do you need food yet again this child replied no. I asked him again what do you want the child replied ‘just change my life’. The only thing I I could do at that moment in time was to give him money.
This incident led me to work for many foundation and charities distributing toys and clothes down 100 ft drop embankment in many slum area’s in Freetown. After meeting Attor Gbongboto we started to work on developing are own charity, filling up a van and taking food and donations from Tesco’s and £4000 worth of toys to where many people wouldn’t dream of going after the Ebola epidemic. We made sure that we visited orphanages that the public had forgotten about.
The Spratley Charity Foundation – swing of success won best NGO (non-profit organization that operates independently of any government) in Sierra Leone for 2017/2018. We had gained so much respect from the country in whole and are one of fastest growing charities in Sierra Leone. We have already 3 plots of land to build the play grounds on.
WHAT
In Sierra Leone a lot of children come home from school and have nowhere to release stress/energy like other normal children. They play on the streets and other unsafe areas in their neighbourhood. Providing a safe play-ground will ensure their safety and enhance their livelihood. That's why the Spratley Charity Foundation is providing free to use playgrounds for children and their families to spend quality time together. As we have witnessed all this firsthand, and we have our families and friends back in Sierra Leone. We feel that it is our duty to to help contribute to a positive change in the lives of these children.
WHY
The Spratley Charity Foundation will give unprivileged children the opportunity to development skills from a young age by building play parks across Sierra Leone. Play parks are more than just fun places for your child to spend free time. They can help all children, especially those with learning and attention issues develop important skills. Here’s how. Swinging is a basic playground activity that can aid your child’s development in many areas. It helps with balance and teaches him or her to know where his body is in space. And it also gives him practice with fine motor skills (gripping the chain), motor skills (pumping his or her legs to swing higher) and coordination (putting it all together). What’s more, swinging helps the brain learn to make sense of speed and direction, which may be beneficial for kids with visual perception issues.
HOW
The Spratley Charity foundation swing of success is a UK Sierra Leone based charity organization that seeks to extensively help children in need across Africa and Sierra Leone to be specific, in recent years many charity organizations have in a way or the other highlighted and executed assistance in various forms and more keep establishing themselves in Sierra Leone. The Spratley Charity Foundation drifts on several aspects of weak areas children should be empowered with and enjoy their livelihoods as all children ought to. As a result of this, the Spratley Charity Foundation connects various people for the growth of the organization and pursuing several activities and events across Africa all geared towards providing assistance to children and uplifting opportunities for members in working Nations. The Spratley Charity Foundation provides less privileged children with advanced learning materials.
