Community High School’s WeGo 2 Africa initiative will be sending a shipping container full of supplies to the school CHS built in Sakutopi Angola. Below you will find a list of supplies that are still needed to send to the students in Africa.
Please take a couple of minutes to watch the attached heartfelt footage of what our CHS students have been able to accomplish! Click here to view: http://www.d94.org/podcasts/WeGo2Africa.wmv
On May 31st, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., community members will be able to drop off donated items at the shipping container by Entrance H. There will be another drop-off date to be announced later. The container will be shipped to Angola the week of June 2nd.

After the containers’ arrival in Angola Africa it will be used at the school site as a classroom. We are in need of exterior paint, brushes, paint trays and paint cleaning supplies in order to paint the outside of the container before it is shipped to Africa.
Specialty Supplies
New or gently used playground equipment (i.e. jump ropes, hula hoops, balls, soccer balls, soccer nets, etc.), and crutches.
Clothing
New or gently used summer and winter clothing (it gets cold in Angola!), shoes, and blankets.
School Supplies
Backpacks, 3 ring binders, crayons, chalk, chalkboards, erasers, folders, notebooks, paper, pencil sharpeners, pencils, pens, Portuguese/English dictionaries.
If you have any other questions or would like to donate before the end of May please contact Mary Ellen Daneels at mdaneels@d94.org or at 630/876-6453. Thank you for your consideration!
