How can your school get involved?
The particular need
Destiny Grace Academy in Destiny Village is up and running. It was officially opened on September 2019 by the new British High Commissioner to Sierra Leone, Mr Simon Mustard. It fits within the village topography and comprises 3 parts. A kindergarten/primary school (4-12) a Junior Secondary (JSS) (12-15) and Senior Secondary (SSS).
We ask schools to join us and the relationship will offer key benefits to your school
- We would ask you to commit to raising an agreed amount per year with say a 3 year commitment. This might enable one class in the school to be sustainable. Ironically it is an average UK spend per pupil.
- direct contact e.g. classes communicate via skype or e mail.
- Projects about faith, geography, poverty, social responsibility, maths and across the curriculum can open children’s eyes to a wider world. This will lead to significant insight for children in both your school and that of Destiny Village.
- Children can write personally to each other.
- Training materials and surplus equipment can be shared and shipped.
- School and local community/church trips enable teachers, older pupils etc to actually visit the school.
- Home Leone staff could visit or lead assemblies in your school.
| School Surpluses
We’ve shipped 8 containers containing much school equipment that came from old buildings when schools moved to new premises or upgraded equipment. |
Send a team from your school
We can host a team coming overseas to practically build the homes and connect to the communities in a life changing experience for your students. We have detailed risk assessments and provide all the logistics. For your years 11, 12 and 13, this will challenge and change their life perspective, and make a personal and practical difference in people’s lives. Ring us today on 01489 325193 to learn more, or e mail us at info@homeleone.org for more details.
Non-uniform Day
Holding a non-uniform day is a fun way to raise money and awareness for Home Leone. Each child pays £1 or £2 and gets to wear their own clothing to school for the day.
Charity of the Year
Make us your charity or the year/term. We can provide you with fundraising materials, films about our work and speakers to visit you, providing an insight to see the world through the eyes of the poor.
