Help Elsen Academy by donating tables for our high school art room

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Elsen Academy opened its doors at the beginning of 2006. The founders, had a vision of an independent school that catered for the needs of children who had barriers to learning. The local state school had limited capacity and strict enrollment criteria. Elsen initially started with just 13 learners from grades 1-3 and operated out of a small church building in Walmer. Such was the need for a school like Elsen, that just three months later, the school moved into a larger property in Heugh Road. The school was now growing rapidly and in the middle of 2009 the school moved once again into its current premises in Bird Street, Gqeberha. Registered with the Education Department as an independent special needs school (EMIS 101021), Elsen Academy caters for students from grades 1-12. As a registered NPO (056 – 340), Elsen receives no government subsidy. Our pupil-teacher ratio is 6:1, this enables individual attention to take place. We follow the same curriculum as the state schools and our matric class writes the same matric and our past matric classes achieved a 100% pass rate. Some of them having been told that they would never be able to get a matric. One of the subjects that our learners really enjoy is Art and the current classroom needs bigger and wider desks than what you would find in a normal classroom. We require 5 or 6 tables to fit 4 learners per table comfortably so that they can work across from eachother. We have 14 learners per class.
