PROJECTS - School Supplies, Clothing and Toys
Game scouts and their families
live in compounds deep in the bush, far from schools. When their
children become of age they are sent off to boarding school. But
in the bush the pre-school children do not have the luxury of day
care, pre-school facilities or supplies.
WILDCON has undertaken to
supply some of these remote locations with school books, school
supplies, clothing, foot wear and toys. This has inspired some of
the mothers to assemble the children on a daily basis and to teach
them hygiene, manners, deportment, to play cooperatively and the
importance of environmental conservation. It has been a morale booster
for the fathers who are away from their families on 14 day patrols.
For example, when delivering
the two new aircraft to South Africa in August and September, 1996,
there was also 3,500 pounds (100 boxes) of school supplies in the
container (paper, math, science and other academic books, pencils,
coloring books and crayons, clothing, foot wear, 15 good used computers
and printers, games and toys, etc.).
