Watch this space….watch & wait.
Hi, we are in the process of developing this site. Due to launch 20th JUNE 2008!!
In the mean time…a brief glimpse of more schooling below….
A group of young at-risk, secondary students got together in Parakou, Benin (West Africa) in 2004, and gave themselves the name MORE SCHOOLING or l’Association pour l’Education des Enfants en Difficulté. They realised they could be stronger together in lobbying for support to help them through their education. For the last three years, MORE SCHOOLING has had a membership of over 100 secondary students. They are still all in school, apart from the founder-chair who is now 26 years old. MORE SCHOOLING’s one hundred members are all secondary students. The students are teaming with a group in the UK looking to help them in the advancement of their cause.
This Association promotes solidarity not charity! Get on board and learn a little about other people, perhaps get involved in promoting education opportunities for students or by donating or raising awareness in your community.

If anyone wants to send books to the APEED library which the needy students use in Parakou, it would be really useful to send some books which feature adventurous girls and girls taking initiative. They can be in French or in English. If in English, the reading level could be age 12-14 for the easiest ones, since English is the students’ second foreign language. Thanks in advance!
A note: books sent through the post generally arrive and are not pilfered at all. So go ahead! Do send! A
