There are many ways to support the association and Midnight Sun International School. If you are unable or not willing to donate money yourself, we would be pleased about your support as a fundraiser. Maybe you think about working as a volunteer at the school?

We use your donation  

For orphans or children from poor families who cannot afford the tuition fees and the school materials. 60 euros per year are sufficient to pay the tuition fee, books for each academic subject, copies for exams, a grade booklet (a sort of school report booklet), a ruler and a rubber for one child.    

 

  

 

 

For the purchase of textbooks. One book costs two euros. Twelve euros are needed for all subjects in one year. Learning to read without one's own book is very difficult.

 

 

 

 

  

 

For the purchase of exercise books and pens/pencils for the students. 1,000 pencils cost five euros. Each child needs at least one exercise book. 

  

 

  

For the purchase of rulers. Ten rulers can be bought for two euros. Imagine math class without a ruler!

 

 

 

  

For the equipment of the classrooms with blackboards, tables, chairs, desks and cabinets. At the moment, we need 40 new desks. One desk costs 30 euros. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

For the upgrade and extension of the school building and the pertaining facilities. Many materials, such as cement and wood, need to be transported to Langbinsi over long distances. In addition, the material costs have increased considerably during the past years. In 2020 we need donations to build an out wall around the school. In autumn 2019, the existing wall was destroyed during the rainy season. For this reason, goats and donkeys come to the school grounds and the classrooms, as some of the classrooms have no doors. 
In addition, the pit latrine and the urinal should be replaced with toilets. In 2020 we will build separate toilets for girls.

 

 

Active supporT

Helping hands are always welcome. You can work at the kindergarten or as a teacher for grades 1 - 5 at the school. You can support the extension of the school, help as a facility manager, build or repair desks and shelves. You can refit school uniforms and help in the kitchen. 

You should stay at least four weeks. You will be picked up at the airport in Accra and travel to Walewale (approx. 30 km away from Langbinsi) by bus. There, someone will pick you up with a vehicle. Besides the expenses for your flight, you will only pay for your accommodation and food. Therefore, you will need about 200 euros for four weeks.
