French Teachers as Advisors or Team Members

SchoolKits for Congo (RAOAF Project)

Some French teachers will have ideas about aspects of French language and culture which can be engaging for children, and have potential as fundraisers, such as foods and games. Some French Teachers might be glad to use the ideas shared by others to celebrate the Day of French and Happiness in their school communities. We hope to involve you all! SchoolKits for Congo is a project of Rotary Australia World Community Service, in partnership with a local charity registered in Goma, DRCongo. It provides SchoolKits free of charge to refugee children in Goma, giving them access to education. We also provide employment for the widowed mothers who sew the kits and can thereby house and educate their own children. Photos of the recipient children with their gifts are returned to the giving school community as thanks. Your efforts will give more Australian children the chance to feel engaged with French and the Francophone world, and give Congolese children shelter, access to education and a place in their new community.
