The Escolinha (“Little School”) of Santa Catarina is a
dynamic and happy pre-school, in Chongoene, a rural area in southern Mozambique.
Sister Aparecida, our ALG Local Partner in the area, is responsible for the
school. Every day in ESC, 58 vulnerable children, from 3 to 5 years of age, receive
care and attention from two dedicated teachers – Olinda and Beatriz. At ESC,
these children have the opportunity of growing, learning and playing in a safe
and healthy environment. Children in risk of becoming “street kids” have the
opportunity to attend a pre-school, have access to classes where they occupy
themselves, develop competencies, and acquire studying habits.
In ESC, £89 per
year or £8 per month, allow each one of these 58 children to have 2 daily
meals, 2 teachers and school materials.
Similarly in Xai-Xai, the EFI – the Escolinha Flor da
Infância pre-school, 109 children attend school on a daily basis with your
support.
ALG pre-schools are filled with the smiles of these
little ones. Help us break the local cycle of poverty early and bring education
to the little ones!
ALG has been offering this festive calendar to all ALG Friends since 2011. This year, you can also print a high definition version for only 1£! Donate here
