Every year Turner Broadcasting send 20 employees to build a school in an area that desperately needs help. The company pays the cost of the trip, but each employee raises £1000 which pays directly for the costs of building a school.

 

In April 2011, I am joining 19 other employees and going to build a new school in Malawi - this will be the third African school that Turner Broadcasting volunteers will fundraise for and help build. The first two are up and running in Mali and Rwanda and this project is to replace a very basic hut with a proper building and latrines in Kawiruwiru, Malawi.

It is one of the world's 10 least developed countries and faces several challenges including food insecurity, the AIDS pandemic and poor education which is critically underresourced and as a result a quarter of primary age children do not attend school.

So please give whatever you can towards this project which will greatly improve the life chances of generations of pupils in the Kasungu district.
