We have worked closely with many schools in the United Kingdom to create links between British students and the children in Guinea-Bissau. The children in the United Kingdom learn about Africa and about Guinea-Bissau in particular. The students send toys, clothing, art supplies and personal messages and drawings to the children of Guinea-Bissau.
In July 2004, our members in the United Kingdom sent a full sea container of additional goods collected for Guinea-Bissau, including school equipment (approx. 200,000 pencils), stationery, computers, clothing, toys and medical supplies. The school equipment was donated to schools in rural areas of the country. The medical supplies were distributed to a major hospital in the capital city, Bissau.
