Science Laboratory Equipment Proposal

G.H.S. Ntumbaw Science Lab Equipment Project

Government High School at Ntumbaw is located in a rural part of Cameroon in the Northwest Region. The school cannot offer any science classes since there is no science laboratory and only a few pieces of laboratory equipment. Educare-Africa purchased first few items during Pavla's 10th trip to Cameroon in 2009. You can view the reception of the new equipment by the principal on the photographs below.









Total amount requested: $11,216
Exchange rate: $1 = CFA 485 francs; Note: exchange rate fluctuates;
Community contribution: transport of the equipment

We do not have to purchase all the equipment at once. Needed items can be purchased gradually as we will be receiving kind donations. Pavla could purchase and hand over personally any equipment during her annual trip to Cameroon in May for whatever amount will be raised before she leaves during the second week of May 2010.

Detailed list of all necessary equipment is available upon request.

If you are interested in supporting this project, you could make a check to Educare-Africa with a note "Science equipment" in the memo and send it to Educare-Africa, P.O. Box 3278, Albany, OR 97321 before May 2010 if possible.

Thank you very much on behalf of the students in Cameroon for your loving care nad kind and generous support!

They will appreciate your gifts tremendously. Once the science lab will be all set up many science students will be able to take classes near their homes instead of transfering to schools in larger towns, where everything is more expensive.
