A Sturdy Investment: Desk and Chairs

When we were recently in Africa visiting the schools some of the staff were very enthusiastic about some metal desk/chairs they had received from the States. Their comments were: "These chairs and desks will last for years. We keep them under lock and key so no one will steal them. I am almost afraid to bring one out to show you."

We can ship a desk/chair for the same price we pay for having a wooden one made in Liberia or Sierra Leone and it will last 10 times longer. Therefore, I am inviting you to consider providing $15 to ship a desk/chair.

We have some in our warehouse but do not have the funds to send them.

You can choose the number of desk/chair you would like to provide. Send your tax-deductible check to OPERATION CLASSROOM.
