Building a school is only a beginning.
Keeping a school functioning
takes on-going support.
Schools for Salone is working together with other partners and the Sierra Leone government to keep the schools that we build successfully serving their student populations.
As we have grown, we have found more partner organizations who share our goal of improving education in Sierra Leone. We lend strength and support to each other and together can achieve more than we each could do alone.
2010 will be the 3rd year that Schools for Salone has helped sponsor Teacher Training for rural Sierra Leone teachers. In July, 2010, Drs. Catherine and Richard Fraizer will return to Bo with a small group of US teacher volunteers to host another week long training. The US trainers will team with prior taining graduates to expand the ideas and techniques to more teachers.
Volunteer Trainers are needed

Schools for Salone began the Adopt A Teacher program to fill the gap between building a school and the Sierra Leone government incorporating the new school into the Ministry of Education system.
Schools for Salone in a collaborative project, with Books For Africa,
delivered a container of 22,000 books to schools in Sierra Leone at the end of 2009.
Since 1988, BFA has sent 20 million books to 38 African countries.

As an outgrowth of our Education Outreach program, Schools for Salone has worked with school children here in the U.S. to raise funds for school supplies for students in Sierra Leone. The students in both countries learn more about each other and connect through letters and photographs. The US children learn the gift of giving and helping people poorer than themselves.
Schools in Sierra Leone are not free. There are fees, uniforms, books and supplies. If families do not have the money, the child does not become a student.
You can help build a promising future for Sierra Leone's children.
