A Voice in the Desert - African Gospel CD
Mokaleng CD: A Voice in the Desert is a social entrepreneurial product, a CD that blends charity and commerce.  Mokaleng School, where Elizabeth Robinson was first a volunteer teacher, has a great need for funds as most learners are unable to pay the boarding fees.  Funds from this CD help the community meet that need, in a way that celebrates their home-grown talent, and develops self-reliance towards the ultimate goal of self-funding.  See the OneAfrica news clip about Mokaleng

Sekolo UK and Going the Distance

Sekolo Projects is now a registered UK charity!  To kick off their fundraising efforts in the UK, Sekolo teamed up with three Tonbridge School students, Chris Bowdler, Max Linington and Andrew Goodman for a charity bike ride on the 19th July around the UK to raise money for Sekolo Projects. They cycled 1220 km (750 miles), unsupported, sleeping in tents that they carried with them.  They raised a phenomenal £6000 (USD9000) - thank you!

Read more about their efforts on the Tonbridge School website here, and support their ride and Sekolo Projects by donating here.

Cut it off for Charity

Chris Losito, a senior at Darien High School undertook a creative way to raise funds for Sekolo’s programs in Namibia - he accepted the dare to wear his hair in a mullet for a week.  Check out the fantastic article and pictures here
Thank you Chris - you’re a brave man and we appreciate your hair-style creativity!
