Senior D-Block - Mobile Classroom - London Christian High

Update … (April 4, 2020)

The Mobile Classroom is finally on its way to Tanzania! It’s been a long approval process to get everything in place with the Canadian and Tanzanian governments, but we made it! It should arrive at its new home sometime in July.

We made the front page of the London Free Free Press today! Check out the article and video they created. Thanks for visiting us yesterday, London Free Press!

Update … (Apr. 12, 2019)

Good news – we have a shipping container! We would like to thank City Centre Storage here in London for allowing our students Cole and Dylan to assist in the window installation. City Centre Storage has also been generous in supplying the materials at a reduced rate – thank you! We are looking forward to having the shipping container delivered to the school next week. For more information about this project, please connect with Matt at mrock@lchonline.ca.

Update … (Apr. 11, 2019)

The Mobile Classroom Project is underway! Thanks to Commonwealth Plywood for delivering the materials for the desks and cabinets for the Mobile Classroom Project. We are so grateful for suppliers like Commonwealth who have offered us reduced rates on materials to make every donated dollar stretch.

To date, $28,000 has been raised for the Mobile Classroom – we are just $7,000 short of our goal of $35,000. To donate, please check out this link or contact Matt Rock at mrock@lchonline.ca.

The Problem

For the many children in the Digo community outside Tanga, Tanzania, Africa the thought of going to school is a fantasy. Their parents, struggling to grow crops to feed the family, have little money to send them to the city school. Girls are even less likely to receive an education, as traditional culture keeps them working very hard at home. Amani Primary school provides these families with quality education close to home.
One current challenge Amani Primary School is facing is the need for updated technology to help their students learn and expand their skills. Currently the school has a few older computers housed in a multipurpose room that serves as a library/office/ computer lab space. With over 300 students opportunities for productive computer use is very limited.

Our Solution

The senior D-Block students at London Christian High have developed a possible solution to this problem – a “Mobile Classroom”.

Our Vision

“Mobile Classroom” will be constructed and designed by students onsite at LCH from a 40′ steel shipping container, retrofitted with windows, doors, built-in desks for 20 students and wired for the lighting and computers to be solely run on solar energy.
