Christmas collection

Let this year's Christmas present be a gift that makes a big difference to other people!
We are looking for a new drilling rig in the Congo.
We have provided clean water to 25 000 families in Angola. Now we want to do the same in Congo. We need a million Kroner. We have three hundred thousand and the goal is to reach one million for Christmas!
Along with school students in the "Skoler i samarbeid / SIS" we want to provide clean water to schools in the Congo. Good learning requires good health. The children come to school full of parasites and bad health condition due to poor water quality. Wells to schools will also benefit the whole population in the area and the children will have better health and not the least time to go to school. We know that children often have to spend the whole day to fetch water. Valuable time that could have been spent at school.

This project is exciting because it is focusing on environmental protection. All water projects will use renewable energy.
Solar panels for pumps

Environmental projects are expensive investments, but are cheap in operation. Life is long and maintenance costs low. This is ideal for rural areas where average income is very low. It takes 14 solar panels per borehole.

Students in Norway and Congo will have projects on accounting issues and how importa nt the world's rain forests are for the global environment.Schools in cooperation (SIS) is a unique collaboration between 10 Norwegian and 14 Congolese schools. Each school has its own school friendship and friendship schools writing letters and sending drawings and gifts for each other.

Schools in Grenland has once a year a solidarity campaign which raise funds to purchase of school books, desks and other student materials. They also have a partnership with the Foundation Yme about getting clean water to the friendship schools.

The objectives of this work is to:

- Develop cooperation, understanding and friendship between schools, pupils and teachers in the Congo and Norway

- Support friendship schools in the Congo so that they can develop a better school by providing facilities for the operation, upgraded school buildings and affect the Congolese authorities so that it will provide enough teachers
- Prevent racism and promote positive attitudes across culture, ethnicity and skin color. Work to develop a democratic culture.

- Develop children's ability to feel pleasure in sharing with others.
