African Partnerships

We are very fortunate to be able to travel to Africa. She fills our senses, grabs our hearts and pleads for our return one day. In the meantime we live out our lives surrounded by home comforts.
 
For many, however, day to day life in Africa is extremely difficult indeed. Poverty and hunger grip the lives of innocent children and the divide between us and them becomes all too apparent. COLT wants to help, if only on a small scale. COLT visits schools in Africa in order to establish an appropriate partnership with a school travelling to Africa from abroad. We then establish the many ways in which the school and children in Africa may be supported. Most schools, universities and colleges wish to build a service element into their itineraries and this is where we can help you.

So much is possible….

  • Building classrooms
  • Creating a water supply and irrigation
  • General repairs and maintenance
  • Provision of sports equipment and clothing
  • New or second hand text books
  • Supplying exercise books and stationary
  • Helping with some teaching
  • Leading an assembly
  • Playing sports

This is a small sample of what is possible. The impact of giving to children in need will stay with you.
