The money raised will be used to support school children in Zambia by supplying Literacy Boxes to primary schools there. Ken presented Certificates of Thanks to the Schools on behalf of the Literacy in a Box Trust. He also expressed thanks and gratitude to the principals, staff, pupils and parents of these schools for their efforts and generous contributions.

Nelson Mandela once said "Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation" President Ken believes that education is "life enhancing" for all of us but it is an essential for those in African countries. Once again Rotary is attempting to make a difference by bringing hope to children in Zambia.
