Lack
of education and poverty are directly linked. It is my priority
to ensure that children have access to education and the necessary
materials to attend school as such. Children involved in this sponsorship
program receive school supplies, shoes and uniforms. By assisting
parents in providing these elements, the children are more able
to attend school and receive an education.
In 2009 49 children received the necessary supplies
to attend school but wearing the same uniform every day has taken
it's toll on the clothes. We hope this year to supply them with
an additional uniform as well as we are adding on another 36 children
to the list for the 2011 school year that starts in February.
All donations made to Operation Education go directly
to purchasing the needed supplies. There are no overhead costs involved.
Currently all the 83 children for 2011 have been sponsored but there
is still a financial need for additional suppplies as the cost has
risen greatly due to the increase of rain they have had this season.
To support Operation Education please send any donation amount by
