donate money for education
DESCRIPTION
We are in Elementaita to meet with John Gakunga, a Senior quality control Officer from the Kenyan Department of Education. We are looking forward to speaking with him learning more about the barriers to education in Kenya and he is interested in learning more about Ace of Good. Back at our camp we sit down with him over breakfast as he candidly lays out the challenges he faces in providing quality education to the children of Kenya.The Kenyan government, since 2003, provides free compulsory primary and secondary education to all. Between the theory and the reality however, is a large gap:The government provides the teachers but not the school building.Yes, that is not a typo.TRANSCRIPT
WELCOME ACE OF GOOD
The scorching Cambodian sun backlit the plastic bags that were being carried by small children as they scavenged through garbage for something to eat or sell. As we stood and watched the smell was overwhelming and bits of garbage blew through the air getting stuck in our hair and eyelashes burning our eyes. This was these children’s every day reality.
Cuba has a staggering 99.8% literacy rate, much higher than most first world nations. During our delivery trip to Cuba, we visited schools and met with representatives from the board of education to learn the secret to their success. Through our travels we learned that in 1959, Fidel Castro ran an unprecedented literacy campaign.
EDUCATING CHILDREN
COLLECTIONS FOR SHOP
The America Collection was born out of the Ace of Good mission to serve the children of our Military Families in the USA who are living below the poverty line and cannot afford school supplies for their children. The sequester and the recent government shut down has further adversely affected our Military Families.
