Mám osobný kontakt na základnú školu v Keni, Green Garden Academy, kde som raz pomáhala stavať kuchyňu a druhýkrát som tam priviedla stredoškolákov z Dubaja. Vďaka tomuto dobročinnému projektu môže teraz škola vzdelávať viac detí z okolia.
Vedenie školy však čelí problémom s financovaním každodennej prevádzky, ako napríklad zabezpečením výživného jedla pre viac ako 400 detí dvakrát denne. Iba približne 100 z týchto 400 detí má sponzorov. Sponzori zo zahraničia platia 20 EUR mesačne na konkrétne dieťa, ktoré si vybrali, a dostávajú od neho rukou písané listy cez email. To však nestačí a škola má mesačne problém pokryť tento rozdiel. Je to súkromná škola, kde rodičia spočiatku platili školné, ale keď stratia prácu, škola nechce poslať tieto deti domov. Bez vzdelania ich nečaká žiadna dobrá budúcnosť a nepretnú kruh generačnej chudoby, v ktorom sa ocitli ich rodičia.

I have a personal contact with a primary school in Kenya, Green Garden Academy, where I once helped build a kitchen and the second time I brought high school students from Dubai there. Thanks to this charity project, the school can now educate more children from the surrounding area.
However, school management faces problems with funding day-to-day operations, such as providing nutritious meals to more than 400 children twice a day. Only about 100 of these 400 children have sponsors. Sponsors from abroad pay €20 per month for a specific child they have chosen and receive handwritten letters from them via email. However, this is not enough and the school has a problem covering this difference between money collected and what it actually costs to run a school on a monthly basis. It is a private school where the parents initially paid the tuition fees, but when they lose their jobs, the school does not want to send these children home. Without education, no good future awaits them and they will not break the circle of generational poverty in which their parents found themselves.
