Each year the Education Volunteers host a summer camp for Malawian students. It's a chance for them to be immersed in a ten-day, American-style summer camp with intensive classes to prepare them for exams. We teach standard content areas like English literature, mathematics, and biology but also have courses on more specialized topics like composition writing.
It's also an opportunity for the campers to explore Malawi. Most of our students never leave their village, but we sponsor field trips--this year we'd like to bus them to the capital city to tour the parliament building and maybe the airport! They will also connect with successful Malawians who deejay on national radio, start thriving businesses, or simply balance work and home, a great way to empower and motivate young Malawians.
If you'd like to support Camp SKY, you can donate by going to http://www.friendsofmalawi.org/grants/how_to_donate.html and making an easy and secure donation. Donations pay for students' transport, food, educational materials, and use of boarding facilities. Even small amounts help i.e. $20 could easily feed two students for ten days.
