Education support schemes with from here 2 Timbuktu:

For all new subscribers to from here 2 Timbuktu: I will donate €5 towards keeping achieving children in school in Esu, Cameroon.

Esu, Cameroon:

I want to provide on going scholarships to keep achieving pupils in school.

€40 keeps a child fully supported through a year of senior school.

€10 keeps a child fully supported for a year in junior school to include uniform and books.

Mali, the remote Tuareg region of Aguelhoc.

Outside the town of Aguelhoc are a couple of schools for the children of the nomadic Tuaregs. Their children have to stay at school all week because their parents are too far away and moving about. Schooling is free in Mali but these children have to provide 3 meals a day to stay in school for the week. It is expense that often prevents a child being educated.

So I want to help provide food for the remote schools outside Aguelhoc.

Please contact me at guy@gromhere2timbutku.com if you would like to support my projects.

It was Chu, my great friend in Esu, Cameroon who got me thinking.

A bright, charming and vivacious 11 year old with an exhaustingly enquiring mind, Chu is the sort of kid for whom education is a must. Yet one day I learnt that he would not be going beyond primary school. As the youngest son with aging parents and no older siblings able to afford his school fees, he would have to help his parents in the fields. I knew €30 would pay his fees for the year, €60 would equip him with books, clothes, shoes and pay his fees.

His little sister Tzum wanted to start junior school - €10 all inclusive.

So I went along to the schools and for €70 a year I am fully supporting two children in school.
