Suitcases For Africa. 2006 Trip Summary. Feb. 23 - Mar. 17


Checkombero Special School for the Hearing Impaired	Stuffed toys and Canadian bracelets made during the Cunninghams Pub Fund Raiser event make for happy faces.	Hearing impaired children at Chekombero School happy to receive stuffed toys from Canadians


Checkombero students excited to receive the new bean bags.	St. Ursulas School for special needs children. The living conditions here were heart breaking and appalling due to the lack of water. We hope we can repair the broken water system to improve their quality of life.	There are two dormitories for 85 children, many sleeping two to a bed, few linens, no personal belongings, bare cement rooms, many of the children are incontinent and with no water for washing clothes and line the atmosphere was unbearable. This school touched us deeply and we hope to give them the gift of clean water.
