Children in Guinea — Enfants en Guinée — Kinder in Guinea : please help / s’il vous plaît, aidez / bitte helfen Sie !
☂ BITTE #helfen Sie diesen #Kindern in Guinea° Conakry ! Please #help these #children in Guinea° Conakry ! S’il vous plaît, #aidez ces #enfants en Guinée° Conakry !
Please read the sources below about the situation of children in Guinea (Conakry)°. You can also make donations for children in need at concerts, workshops and in Alpha Oulare classes. All donations are reliably earmarked and promptly transferred to Guinea by bank transfer: Alpha Oulare currently transfers a monthly aid amount to Guinea to help finance voluntary school lessons for children in the community of Coyah who would otherwise have no education. Up to now, a teacher has been teaching children in Coyah outdoors. As there is no school building, classes are mostly cancelled during the rainy season. Together with responsible local contacts, Alpha Oulare is therefore looking for funding to purchase a school site and build a simple building that meets all the requirements of a school facility. This requires funds in the five-digit range, but less than the equivalent of 20.000 euros. Mr. Oulare is therefore considering founding a support association. How can the sum for the initial purchase of the site and subsequent construction costs be raised? Who is in a position to help charitable causes and invest in concrete development aid?
Bitte lesen Sie / bitte lest in den unten angegebenen Quellen zur Situation von Kindern in Guinea (Conakry)°. Spenden für Kinder in Not zu leisten, ist Ihnen und Euch auch auf Konzerten, in Workshops und im Unterricht von Alpha Oulare möglich. Alle gespendeten Beträge werden verlässlich zweckbestimmt und zeitnah nach Guinea per Bankanweisung transferiert: Gegenwärtig überweist Alpha Oulare monatlich einen Hilfe-Betrag nach Guinea, um ehrenamtlichen Schulunterricht für sonst ausbildungslose Kinder in der Gemeinde Coyah mitzufinanzieren. Bisher unter freiem Himmel unterrichtet ein Lehrer Kinder in Coyah. Da ein Schulgebäude fehlt, fällt der Unterricht während der Regenzeit im Jahr hauptsächlich aus. Gemeinsam mit verantwortlichen Kontaktpersonen vor Ort sucht Alpha Oulare daher Förderung für den Erwerb eines Schulgrundstückes und den Bau eines einfachen aber allen Ansprüchen einer Schuleinrichtung genügenden Gebäudes. Dieses erfordert Mittel im fünfstelligen Bereich, aber unter umgerechnet 20 000 Euro. Herr Oulare erwägt deshalb die Gründung eines Fördervereines. Wie kann die Summe für zunächst Grundstückskauf und anschließende Baukosten realisiert werden? Wer ist in der Lage gemeinnützig zu helfen, in konkrete Entwicklungshilfe zu investieren?
Veuillez lire / veuillez vous référer aux sources ci-dessous concernant la situation des enfants en Guinée (Conakry)°. Vous pouvez également faire des dons pour les enfants dans le besoin lors de concerts, d’ateliers et dans les classes d’Alpha Oulare. Tous les montants donnés sont affectés de manière fiable et rapidement transférés en Guinée par virement bancaire : Alpha Oulare transfère actuellement un montant d’aide mensuel à la Guinée afin d’aider à financer des cours volontaires pour les enfants autrement sans instruction de la communauté de Coyah. Jusqu’à présent, un enseignant enseigne en plein air aux enfants de Coyah. Comme il n’y a pas de bâtiment scolaire, les cours sont principalement annulés pendant la saison des pluies. En collaboration avec des interlocuteurs responsables sur place, Alpha Oulare recherche donc un financement pour l’achat d’un terrain scolaire et la construction d’un bâtiment simple répondant à toutes les exigences d’une installation scolaire. Cela nécessite des fonds à cinq chiffres, mais inférieurs à l’équivalent de 20 000 euros. M. Oulare réfléchit donc à créer une association de soutien. Comment peut-on réaliser le montant de l’achat initial du terrain et les coûts de construction ultérieurs ? Qui peut aider les organisations à but non lucratif et investir dans une aide au développement spécifique ?
