A recent donation of 500 textbooks to Kamwendo Primary School in Malawi's Ntchisi district. This included textbooks for Mathematics, English, Expressive arts, Social Studies, Life skills and Agriculture for Standards 1-5.

This will make a massive difference in enabling students to study, given the acute shortage of texts before.

This was made possible by the generous support of the Baby Angels Foundation.
