NEW PROJECT 2006

Adi Ugri Secondary School Project The St George Secondary School of Adi Ugri (Mendefera) is one of the biggest schools in Eritrea. The school has recently established a Reconstruction Committee to rehabilitate the buildings and to improve the teaching resources of the school. In response to a request by the Parent and Teachers Association (PTA) of the school for support in its rehabilitation programme, the Friends of Eritrea/UK has decided to raise funds to buy computers and other teaching aids for the school. During its last meeting the Board of Trustees of the Friends of Eritrea/UK decided to allocate £3,000 to buy computers for the school and these computers will be sent to Mendefera soon but more help is needed. With your help we recently successfully completed a project to support the Keren Public Library; we sent 9 computers, a printer and thousands of books to the library last year. The Friends of Eritrea/UK is now appealing to all friends of Eritrea to support the Adi Ugri Secondary School Project by donating funds or other educational materials such as books and computers. For further details about this project and about how you may help please contact us by email (chairman@friendsoferitrea.org.uk <mailto:chairman@friendsoferitrea.org.uk>) or by post. Please send donations to Jim Trafford, Treasurer, Friends of Eritrea/UK, PO Box 299, Liverpool, L69 7QL, UK.
