Kindles Distributed to Future Leaders in Freetown

Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated as it continues to make an impact on the future leaders in Freetown.  Thanks in part to your support, 41 kindles were distributed at El-Bethel Academy and Success Tall Academy Nursery and Preparatory School. Develop Africa Sierra Leone organized a one-day training session for teachers from El-Bethel Academy and Success Tall Academy Nursery and Preparatory School on the use of the Kindle device.  During the training, the teachers were taught how to use the different features and functions of the device and how to access e-books stored in the E-reader technology (kindle). The training was interactive as teachers from both schools were given the opportunity to ask questions.

After a successful training session with teachers from the two selected schools, 31 kindles were donated to El-Bethel Primary and Secondary School and 10 to Success Tall Academy, Nursery and Preparatory School.  Headteachers, teachers, and pupils of both schools were very excited to receive the kindles and were very thankful to the donors and Develop Africa for the kindle devices.
