Empty Classrooms

Empty Lives

What We Do:
AFRETECH is a Canadian charity which provides the poorest rural African schools with the educational resources they need. Recycled textbooks, library books, encyclopedias, and computers find a new life in these Third World schools. Our shipments have the potential to transform struggling schools into true institutions of learning. AFRETECH volunteers also provide technical training in computers so that African teachers and students will have the skills they will need for the future in this increasingly competitive world. So many African schools are desperate for resources -- items we take for granted in North America. (Click to find out more about Afretech!)

Students play soccer the world over but using a real soccer ball is something new. This ball was a much appreciated gift from the Surrey Britannia Soccer Association.
