how it works.
Your class (or school!) agrees to give up your desks and other classroom luxuries (excess school supplies, extra books, electronics, etc.) for a day and sit on the floor to raise awareness about the need for some of the most basic (and absolutely necessary) learning tools in classrooms around the world, all the while participating in classroom activities aimed at teaching your students about the power and importance of an education.
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 teachers 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 working with your students to provide an education for their peers in Uganda seems like a great place to start.
