Imagine...
Can you imagine sitting on a cold dirty floor every day you go to school? No desks to work on or chairs to sit on? This is life for kids who live in Malawi. Malawi is a very poor country in Southeastern Africa. In Malawi the schools highest needs aren't paper or pencils, they simply need desks and chairs. Each classroom in this country holds about 90 students all sitting on the floor. The schools don't have electricity and most don't even have doors. Because of this country's poverty, their schools need help and fast. Therefore, a hardware store in Malawi is making students and teachers chairs and desks for a group called UNICEF. Even though it's taking a while, UNICEF is trying to help Malawi schools once and for all. Would you be grateful for this group if you went to a school without desks and chairs?
