Hello everyone. I have great news...my proposal for the expansion of a
pre-school in my village is FINALLY up on the peace corps website. When I first came to
Mwamba, I was invited to observe a class that
Mirriam Mwamba, a local teacher's wife, had started the year before. When I walked into her tiny decorated classroom and saw how she interacted with the 7
eager kids there, I knew this was something special. Several months later the
Mwamba's approached me and asked for my help to expand the school to
accommodate more of the villages orphan and vulnerable children. The community was excited and supportive and our Peace Corps Partnership Proposal blossomed. Now there are over 110 students ages 3-7 who attend
Milex (Mirriam + Alex) Nursery School every day. They are buzzing with knowledge and their voices can be heard throughout the village. We need help with basic supplies, classroom
renovations, and construction of a chicken coop to sustain the school. Any donations would be MUCH APPRECIATED...you can help by giving online at
https://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.donors.contribute.projDetail&projdesc=611-034 or go to
www.peacecorps.gov under Peace Corps Partnerships, find Zambia and L.
Sekulich. Any donations are tax deductible and we can't get any of the money until we reach our goal. I have attached a copy of the entire proposal here if you want to find out more. Feel free to e-mail or post any questions. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! And a special thank you to those wonderful souls who have already donated!!!
