Fundraising for Tembari preschool classroom project

By ALFREDO P HERNANDEZ

A FEW DAYS ago, a cheque donation for K7,000 was deposited to Tembari Children’s Care (TCC) bank account with Bank South Pacific-Waigani Branch to kick off a fundraising drive for a new classroom for Tembari preschool children.

The donation came from AP Engineering Ltd of Kokopo, East New Britain, Papua New Guinea.

We are raising at least K50,000 (US$18,000) to build a 60sqm multi-purpose hall to house a small classroom, a small dirty kitchen and a small office.

The structure, which would be 15m long and 4m wide, will have concrete flooring, timber wall and GI sheet roofing.

The classroom would accommodate a batch of 20 preschoolers who, during the school year 2010, held classes under the mango tree, next to the two classrooms occupied by the rest of our preschoolers.

This year, our preschool education program graduated 20 kids, who are now qualified to join the elementary level.

I am appealing to people who are financially able to please support the Tembari Preschool Classroom Project fundraising drive so we could provide a proper classroom to our growing numbers of young learners.

Donations to the fund can be made by direct credit to:

Tembari Children’s Care (TCC) Inc
Bank South Pacific
Waigani Branch, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Account Number: 1001481651
