Books and schoolsupplies for the school for disadvantaged children in the districts Laulane and Mahotas in Maputo, Mozambique
The situation in Mozambique is still troublesome. Kidnapping and robberies are an every day occurance and they are getting more violent. and to make things worse lately there has been more relgious unrest between muslims and Christians. A lot of people are afraid for a return to a civil was state. In these somber times centro de encontro is trying to be a safe haven for the poorest children of the city of Maputo. Through education but also sports , dance and Music centro de encontro is trying to give the children a happier youth and moments of joy.
The school for the poor in the district of Laulane is important for the kids in Maputo. The school is free and they on't have to wear expensive school uniforms and shoes like in the stateschools. For most of the kids this school gives them one last opportunity to get a diploma. Because the school was recognized by the state they can finish in 5th grade with an exam and they get an official certificate. Over the past 15 years almost 3000 children got their diploma and a chance to a better future.
Because the state stopped the supply of free schoolbooks and schoolmaterials it became necessary to buy books for the pupils in the First grades. Other supplies necessary for running the school properly were student files, filing kabinets, writingpaper, notebooks and exercisebooks, chalk and blackboard erasers and pens were all bought with the donated money.
