Schools

Schools are the lifeblood of any country.

Schools are really important for the BOB campaign:

• Teachers can encourage their pupils to donate their much loved but unwanted books to the BOB campaign
• Teachers can organise literay related fund raising activities to highlight the importance of reading and the challenges faced by children in Sierra Leone
• Schools can volunteer to become a central collection point for Big BOB collection days
• School participating in the BOB campaign will be featured on the BOB website along with messages of support 17.

"The population in general was quite young; about 69 percent of the population was under 30 years of age." (Statistics General Sierra Leone Nov 2007)

Email the BOB team at bobappeal@codep.co.uk for details of how your school can get involved.

Would you like to befriend a teacher or headteacher in Sierra Leone? Communications make it hard but it is really rewarding and your friendship would be so welcome. Find out more on the British Council website.
