Crocodile Attack in Village
Tragic news from the village of Kapululira. A young woman, with a two week old baby, was attacked and killed by a crocodile while bathing around 5pm in the Zambezi river. The orphan is being taken care of by family members and money has already been sent by SchoolsforZambia e.V. to feed the baby for the coming 6 months.

Special Fund Raising Event Christmas 2009
As in previous years I organised a fund raising event at my school, RFS e.V. involving students and teachers. Not only did we simply collect money, but we baked a huge variety of culinary delights and sold them on the street over a two-day period to raise money for our cause, Schools for Zambia e.V., but also a local charity "Frauenhaus Regensburg" (safe house for abused women).
This was a huge success, thanks to the amazing efforts that many of our students and staff made. It also raised awareness for two very good causes! We raised over €1200- a third of the money required to build our primary school in Farao Village.
I am eternally grateful for the support and dedication that our students and my colleagues showed. Here some photos and newspaper articles about our success.

Next Project: Building a primary school!
Our current project is to build a much needed primary school for children from Kapululira and Farao villages. A primary school that is nearby and easy to access, i.e. doesn't involve crossing a dangerous river or having to walk 10-12 km. We require €3000 to do so and already we have collected about 50%. Please help us in our venture.
