KALMA CAMP(12 Oct.) - The Darfur Displaced and Refugees Association has called upon Darfuris in the Diaspora to increase their support to the displaced in Darfur and refugees in Chad, in particular in the field of education.
Hussein Abu Sharati, the spokesman for the Association told Radio Dabanga that the basic and secondary school students at the camps for the displaced and the refugee camps are facing a shortage of school books, notebooks, and writing materials. The camps are in need of more classrooms, teachers, desks and chairs, and teaching materials.
“For instance, Kalma camp in South Darfur, being one of the largest camps for the displaced in the region, has only three secondary schools for 38,000 school students.”
Sharati called on “the Darfuris in the Arab Gulf and other parts of the world to support the education for the displaced and the refugee children.
