YOU CAN HELP >> SCHOOLS
We are in regular contact with several schools in Santiago de Cuba. CIRCLO The circlos are part of the school system and provide day care and education for children from a few days old up to Junior Kindergarten. The teachers are ingenious and create toys from plastic bottles, toilet rolls, scrap paper, scrap fabric. But there is a limit to what can be created from nothing. They need - crayons, poster paints (dry), pencils, coloured pencils, children's scissors, glue (dry to make up), paint brushes, puzzles, educational toys, classroom aids, chalk, stick pens, erasers, pencil sharpeners, blackboard paint, toys, teachers note books, calendars. ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS - Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8 or 9 Cuba places a high priority on education (approximately 98% literacy). All schools are critically short of supplies. In the past teachers have been very careful with donated supplies - pencils are often given out at the beginning of each class and collected at the end, coloured pencils are shared by the whole class. They need - pencils, pens, notebooks, coloured pencils, children's scissors, geometry sets, rulers, chalk, stick pens, erasers, pencil sharpeners, coloured chalk, teachers notebooks, teachers registers and mark books, calendars, educational toys and teaching aids (in Spanish), reading books (in Spanish), blackboard paint and erasers, classroom aids and decorations, scissors, glue, poster paints, felt tip markers, coloured markers.
