This lockdown has brought us closer and we are working more together now to achieve our mutual aims - supporting great educationalists and their progress and projects around the world -
"Michael Soskil is a leader extraordinary who exemplifies the educational belief held by NGGE. Education by learner for learners in a global educational community is the only thing which will lead to better understanding and more effective collaboration in addressing and solving the United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goals."
tt grade 5TeachersLifeForMe: http://teacherslifeforme.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-only-hope-for-our-future.html Here, Michael's class talks about the making of a cell museum and shares it with other learners around the world. You can see how they are already global citizens who have gone through the explore-learn-master-create to the give back.
WYCF ( Santigie ) is a supported project, where NGGE promotes for fundraising either direct to WYCF through their or through our collection / investment point in the USA 501c Education Non Profit www.ngge.org
We Yone Child Foundation (WYCF) runs two primary schools in two of the most neglected areas in Freetown: Kroo Bay, a community built on a water-side rubbish dump, and George Brook, on the rocky hillside of Freetown. Our mission is to provide sustainable education and care to underprivileged children and to overcome the social and environmental problems that deepen and perpetuate the cycle of poverty in these communities.
We have long been frustrated by seeing our promising primary school pupils drop out when they get to the secondary stage due to the inability to travel to schools many miles away.
Which is why we have secured a piece of land right next to our Primary School in George Brook. We have the architectural plans, the bill of quantities and the final budget for a simple three-story cement block building:
