ENOUGH WORDS - LET US PUT 20 LAPTOPS INTO THEIR HANDS!
For almost three months, a GoFundMe campaign has been asking for something remarkably modest: help the children of Kibogoji Experiential Learning School acquire their first 20 laptops.
The target is US$10,000.
So far, approximately US$870 has been raised.
US$870 is not nothing. Every dollar represents somebody who read the appeal and decided that sympathy alone was not enough.
But ZNK must today say something uncomfortable to many of you, our readers!
We can do much better than this.
More than 5,000 of Tanzanians read ZNK and watch its sister YouTube channel regularly (https://www.youtube.com/@zanzibarnikwetu1998?sub_confirmation=1). If just 5,000 people contributed US$2 each, that alone would produce:
US$10,000.
Twenty laptops.
A small computer facility.
And, for many of these children, the first opportunity in their lives to place their own hands on a laptop keyboard.
Think about that brother/sister!
For many of us in the diaspora, US$2 disappears without thought. It may not even buy a cup of coffee anymore. Yet the same US$2, multiplied by thousands of us acting together, could open an entirely new world to children in rural Tanzania.
And this is where ZNK wants to be deliberately uncomfortable to you all!
