how it works.
You, your friends, class, and/or organization agree to give up your desks and other classroom luxuries (excess school supplies, extra books, electronics, etc.) for a day and sit on the floor in all of your classes to raise awareness bout the need for some of the most basic (and absolutely necessary) learning tools in classrooms around the world.
fundraising.
Our national goal – 1,000 classrooms & $45,000. Every dollar counts.
$1 buys nine clay bricks, $2.50 buys a box of nails, $10 buys a 10ft length of gutter, $20 buys a desk for a BT student… In short, what you raise will go directly towards providing learning space for current and future students at BT academies in Uganda, giving many their first opportunity to learn inside of a classroom. Ever. Pretty cool, huh?
why?
As a student in the US, you have access to incredible educational opportunities. We simply ask that you make the best of them. We may be biased but, we think that providing an education for your peers in Uganda seems like a great place to start.
