Motivations
Because of the lack of resources of our government to support education, the locals of Sinthiou Garba, are fighting daily to overcome difficulties related to health care, drinkable water and particularly to provide a worthy education to our children. Unfortunately, our school, which was built for the education of primary and secondary students, is in a dilapidated and worrying situation for the safety of children and teachers.
Seeing the state of buildings, the broken chairs, the insecurity related to a possible collapse of the buildings sooner or later break my heart (please see pictures below). As Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the world”. We deeply believe that we can all make a difference by changing the life of a child and by giving him an opportunity to study in dignity. Everyone deserves a quality education and child will help now other people who are in the need. Furthermore, this project is important to us because this is the school where we studied as children .
To address this difficult and dangerous situation, the objectives of Péllital Sinthiou Garba are to build 3 classrooms and 1 administrative block for teacher and staff. The estimated cost of our project is 48,009,160 FCFA (73,296 Euro). A Non-Governmental Organization in France, named PAISD (Programme d’appui aux initiatives de solidarité pour le développement) has agreed to finance about 75%. We have to find the remaining 25% of the final sum - about 12,002,290 FCFA (19,000 euro). For details about the estimate please the first picture below.
Ziele
Da die Regierung nicht genug Resourcen hat, um z.B. Bildung angemessen zu fördern, kämpfen die Bewohner von Sinthiou Garba täglich mit vielerlei Schwierigkeiten in den Bereichen Gesundheitsversorgung, Trinkwasser; besonders bemühen sie sich im Bereich Bildung, um unseren Kindern eine würdige Erziehung zu ermöglichen. Leider ist unsere Schule, in die Schüler bis etwa 16 Jahre gehen, in einem baufälligen und besorgniserregenden Zustand, so dass sogar die Sicherheit der Schüler und Lehrer gefährdet ist.
Auf den Bildern können Sie einen Eindruck des Zustands der Gebäude und auch der kaputten Stühle und Tische gewinnen. Der Zustand der Gebäude, die früher onder später auch einstürzen könnten, bricht uns das Herz.
Nelson Mandela sagte einmal „Bildung ist die mächtigste Waffe, mit der man die Welt ändern kann Welt". Wir glauben fest daran, dass die Chance, in Würde zu lernen, das Leben der Kinder nachhaltig positiv verändern kann. Jeder sollte die Chance einer guten Ausbildung bekommen, um dann später auch anderen Menschen in Not helfen zu können. Dieses Projekt ist deswegen auch wichtig für uns, weil dies die Schule ist, in die wir selbst früher als Kinder gegangen sind.
Um diese problematische und gefährliche Situation abzuwenden, möchte Péllital Sinthiou Garba einen Komplex mit drei Klassenräumen und einem Verwaltungsraum für Lehrer und Mitarbeiter bauen. Die geschätzten Kosten unseres Projekts betragen umgerechnet etwa 73.300 Euro. Eine Nichtregierungsorganisation in Frankreich, genannt PAISD (Program d’appui aux initiative de solidarité pour le développement) hat zugesagt, etwa 75% der Kosten zu übernehmen, sofern die restlichen 25% der Kosten (ca. 19.000 Euro) anderweitig (z.B. durch Spenden) gedeckt werden. Die Details der Kostenschätzung sind im Bild unten dargelegt.

Project goals
Our goal for the project is to raise the remaining 19,000 euro for building this children school with 3 classrooms and 1 administrative bloc at the village of Sinthiou Garba in Senegal.
We initiate "BALLU-NDIRAL" (mutual aid) which aims to collect the missing 19,000 euro for building the school and therefore facilitating access to education and knowledge for all children of Sinthiou Garba. Our ambition is to collect these missing funds in collaboration with the associative system and private companies in order to reach the goal of getting the school built, therefore offering a place worthy for the education of these children. The impact of BALLU-NDIRAL will be felt in the short, medium, and long term.
Projektziele
Das Ziel unseres Projekt ist es, die verbleibenden 19.000 Euro zu sammeln für den Bau dieses Schulgebäudes mit drei Klassenräumen und einem Verwaltungstrakt in der Kleinstadt Sinthiou Garba im Senegal. Wir stoßen "BALLU-NDIRAL" (gegenseitige Hilfe) an mit dem Ziel, die fehlenden 19.000 Euro zu sammeln, um die Schule zu bauen und somit den Zugang zu Bildung und Wissen für alle Kinder von Sinthiou Garba zu verbessern. Wir wollen einerseits diese fehlenden Gelder zu sammeln, andererseits durch Sponsoring und Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Firmen Geld oder Sachleistungen einzuwerben. Mit dem Bau dieser Schule wollen wir den Schülern einen Ort geben, der würdig für ihre Ausbildung ist. Die Auswirkungen von BALLU-NDIRAL wird kurz-, mittel-und langfristig spürbar sein.

Mohamadou Diallo: Currently I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at Forschungszentrum Juelich, Germany. After my college study in Senegal I moved to France, where I was graduated with a Doctorate of Philosophy in atmospheric science from the Laboratoire Meteorologie Dynamique at Ecole Normale Superieure of Paris in 2013. I have always been involved in non-governmental organizations, in particular, for helping young people with learning disabilities at school. For instance, I have been an active volunteer of AFEV Aix-Marseille, which is the first solidarity network of students working in the neighborhoods of Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, France. It is a national association founded in 1991, based on an observation about inequalities in poor neighborhoods and a conviction that the young should engage to make a difference. My moto is we can all aspire to change by making a difference into one child’s life in a daily basis.
