Sponsorship

We are currently looking for four sponsors,
Two boys need sponsoring through school, one of them is pictured here, Omar.
To sponsor one of these boys would be £10 a month, this will pay for uniforms, school bags, school shoes, school books, school fees and anything else they need to help them progress through their education.

We need to have an extra teacher to start in September at the Sikunda Village School, so would very much like to have a sponsor her - we intend to have a lady teacher to join Saine and Modou. To sponsor her salary would be £15 a month

And lastly, if possible we would like to find a sponsor for a mature student who very much wants to do the next level of computer studies starting in June, for six months, the cost will be £140.00 as a one-off fee.

In fact any amount no matter how small, from as little as £1 a month does really make a difference, and all the donations go to what they should go to, and none taken for administration costs.

Gift Aid if you are a taxpayer also boosts the donation by another 22%
If you are interested, please contact me, Sue, either by telephone, 01296 688039, or email sjones@friendsofsikunda.org
