International cooperation takes many forms, and one of the challenges faced by organizations like ours is also to ensure access to education in the most remote regions of the Sahara. In this context, the donation of educational materials plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the communities involved. This is the journey of the educational material donated by many to Children in the Desert, focusing on the latest mission in Mauritania.

Poor resources in desert schools In many schools in desert regions, teaching materials are often a scarce commodity. In recent weeks, during yet another trip to Mauritania by Alessandra and Massimo, accompanied by Valentina (author of the cover photo), their trusty Dahi as well as other friends, notebooks, pens and colors were delivered to various schools. Having left a couple of weeks ago, Alessandra and Massimo, members of Bambini nel Deserto, once again combined the pleasure of traveling with the pleasure of leaving a positive trace of their passage. On the occasion of this expedition they were able to directly monitor the quality of the renovation works of a school and a social structure in Tanouchert, collected information on possible future interventions and consolidated positive relationships with the local authorities. In addition to all this they have continued, once again, the tradition of Children in the Desert in the schools of the Sahara. In fact, for over two decades we have also been actively engaged in the collection of educational material in Italy and its direct delivery to many African countries. The result of this commitment is tangible in the many schools that have received invaluable help to improve the educational opportunities of their students. The missions do not only focus on the quantity of material donated but also on the quality and relevance to the needs of the communities involved as well as, in Burkina Faso, an “educational system” designed by our pedagogues.

The continuing challenge and the role of the Modena Operational Headquarters Despite the successes, the need for additional support is always present. We regularly collect notebooks and pens at our Operational Headquarters in Via Canaletto 88 in Modena to ensure that every delivery mission is a success. This call to action invites anyone interested in helping to contact the organization and become an integral part of this valuable effort. The journey of the educational materials donated to Children in the Desert is a testimony to the transformative power of education and human generosity. Every pen and notebook collected helps shape the future of children who might otherwise find themselves without basic educational resources. The mission continues, and the invitation to join this educational journey is open to all who wish to make a difference. Contact us BnD and join this cause that goes beyond geographical borders, bringing hope and education to the most remote regions of Africa and beyond!
