Requests

I apologize for the delay in posting this request, but I’ve tried to ask around this week to find out what materials from the US might be needed around Namumu and I finally got a few solid requests. If anyone coming to Namumu in June or July is looking for items to bring along, any of these will work. Again, I’m sorry I haven’t gotten these out sooner, and if it’s too late to put things together or if there’s not enough room to transport them I understand.

Mr. Malambo, the head teacher at the Namumu Community School, got me a list of small items that the school could use:

Calculators
Chalk (white and colored)
English Dictionaries
English Bibles
Crayons
Pencils
Staplers and Staples
Ink Pads and Ink
Glue Sticks
File Folders
Rulers
Envelopes
Index Cards
Chalk Board Erasers
Soccer Balls
Volley Balls
Whistles
Pens
Plain Computer Paper
Markers
Jump Ropes

Any help with these would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone felt compelled to donate a working laptop computer and power cord it would be terrific. We only have one computer at the moment that can print documents and connect to the internet, so an additional one would make life much easier. I know that this is a big request, but I figured I’d get it out there just in case anyone has an old laptop lying around collecting dust. Old? Slow? It doesn’t matter, we’d take it.

If you think you can help with any of these items, please email me at ssc2x@virginia.edu as soon as you can to let me know. Thanks a bunch.
