Classic Engines, Modern Fuel, Helping Children in Tanzania

The royalties from Classic Engines, Modern Fuel and donations are being used to give pens, pencils and exercise books to 2000 under privileged children in four primary schools in Kideleko Village, Handeni District and Tanga Region of Tanzania. Contributions much appreciated. You can make a donation using PayPal or contact me directly. Every penny is spent on materials for the schools.

In January 2023 I was privileged to visit Tanzania and the schools myself. I was very impressed by the friendliness, tolerance and professionalism of everybody I met despite their extreme poverty and poor conditions.

This picture shows the a teacher, the Headteacher and myself in one of the classrooms. It is a lot different than ones you see in England.

After this visit, I received a message from one of the Headteachers. It said "Thank you so much for the pens, pencils and exercise books. This morning it was encouraging to see all the children arrive at school with something to write with and a a book for their notes.

There is still a lot more we could do to help the schools and the children. I saw one teacher who had made some counting blocks from pieces of wood he had found lying around the school. Very primative compared to what is available to teachers in wealthier countries. The headmaster at one school explained how they had to copy out exam papers by hand and how a printer would really help them.

Please contact me if you feel you would like to get involved. It is a very rewarding experience.
