Support a child’s education through Tebbs SC – the spirit of giving
This year Tebbs Second Chances [Tebbs SC] celebrates its fifth year of distributing stationery to disadvantaged school children in West Africa. Since it was founded by Fiona Luke, Tebbs SC has distributed stationery, reading books and computer equipment to over 4,000 children in seven schools in The Gambia and Sierra Leone. The small team of volunteers never tell the school that they are coming along – they just turn up at the end of the school day [to cause less disruption] and make sure each child goes home with a stationery pack.

In April 2013 the Tebbs SC stationery drive will be for the SAYO Elementary Primary School in Freetown, Sierra Leone. This year the stationery drive also includes visiting two previous schools and donating school books they have been given from St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School.
Fiona Luke, founder, Tebbs Second Chances said: “This is our fifth Year of distribution and we are back to gift over 300 kids in Sierra Leone in April 2013. We are grateful to every single person who gives without fail year in year out and we continue to ask people to donate money to buy these essential stationery packs. It’s great to know that people want to make a difference to other people’s lives. I know that the work we do does not directly affect our donors and sponsors lives, but we thank you for all your help, as without it we cannot do the work that we do.”
