How can YOU HELP?

A few folks have started asking me, "how can I help?" There are TONS of
really easy ways.



1. Tired of not having enough space in your closet? Been saying to
yourself for months or years, damn, I need to drop this stuff off at
Goodwill? SEND CLOTHES HERE!! Seriously! People DO NOT CARE what things
look like. If clothes are in tact, they will get worn until they are not.

Send to: Sister Jennifer Jackson

Divundu Combined School

PO Box 5071

Divundu, Namibia

Declare contents as "clothing" with the lowest dollar amount.

2. Send school supplies!! The junk that is available here is a
disgrace, and what is somewhat decent quality is out of reach of most of the
learners. Items most needed:

a. PENS (the cheapest of the cheap bic, etc. pens, black/blue. DON'T
send the fancy inky ones goes they dry out instantly.
b. PENCILS! Mechanical pencils are best, but also send lead. If not
mechanical than normal pencils are great too!!
c. Pencil Sharpeners! They don't really exist here of decent quality,
that I've seen, anyway. Most of the kids sharpen their pencils by scraping
the lead on the floor. Some try to chisel away the wood with little
makeshift knives. An electric sharpener would be a gift from the gods.
d. Extra erasers! The kind that go on top of pencils are good and the
hand-held brick-like ones are great. (They call them "rubbers" here. It's
hysterical. "Madam, do you have a rubber?"
