Very few South Africans know where to look for them on the map. And that's a tragedy, because these areas contain tens of thousands of children of schoolgoing age. They are desperate to learn but are provided with few facilities. Desks would be nice. So would pens, paper and books.
Many schools have none.
Even where they do, there's no guarantee they will be used properly. With the help of FM readers, we hope to make those resources available. During May this year, convoys of 4x4 vehicles will visit 80 schools in six provinces, to deliver more than R1m in books and educational materials. You, we hope. The donation will also entitle you to join us on what previous participants have described as the experience of a lifetime.
