DESKS BOUND FOR SAMOAN SCHOOLS
On Tuesday 10th November, over 500 King’s boys loaded their classroom desks and chairs onto two containers on their journey to two schools, Falese’ela and Safato’a, on the south west coast of Samoa. These schools serve 6 local villages with a desperate need for support following the recent tsunami. The children in these schools have very little equipment at all and currently do their lessons sitting on the floor. Each King's boy attached a personal letter of friendship and encouragement to his desk, and generous parents also contributed tee shirts, books and stationery to be sent with the furniture.
All classrooms at King's now have the new Furnware desks and chairs, to complement those in the LightHouse. The new furniture has been designed specifically to meet the needs of each individual student. Each desk and chair is tailored to the correct height of each child ensuring better posture and comfort.
