Last month, Mackay Life reported on teacher Mohamed Johnson-Kanu requesting school supplies to send to impoverished schools in his home country of Sierra Leone.
Contacting primary and secondary schools throughout the region, as well as Mackay Regional Council, he is requesting the donation of supplies such as textbooks, novels, furniture, computers, filing cabinets and other resources.
Mr Johnson-Kanu has provided an update, saying that a shipping container has been acquired and sits at Pioneer State High School waiting to be filled.
“We just need people to continue donating furniture and those sorts of things and we need to raise some money to send the container to Sierra Leone,” he said.
Anyone interested in assisting is asked to contact Mr Johnson-Kanu on 0418 402 000 or email mjo2123@bigpond.com or mxjoh11@eq.edu.au.
