Pencils needed for school children in Tanzania!

st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) }

Does your school, business, organization, or office have extra pencils?

If so, please donate them to Africa Bridge! We are collecting pencils to take to school children in rural SW Tanzania. These pencils are sorely needed by the 700+ students that live in the Masoko and Isongole Wards in the rural Mbeya Region of SW Tanzania.

Please contact Sandra at 503-699-6162 or [email protected] to make a donation. We gladly accept funds in lieu of pencils, if you would like to contribute to our cause.  The deadline to donate pencils is January 9, 2008.

Africa Bridge is a Portland-based international nonprofit organization with a field office and staff in Tanzania.  We are dedicated to listening to Tanzanian children and empowering their communities to protect, support and care for orphaned and vulnerable children through integrated sustainable development programs. Our vision is to ensure that in every area that Africa Bridge works, children will have shelter, nourishment, a loving family, health care, an education and income opportunities for their families.
