Science in third world is not only at its infant stage but also it is hugely challenged by many factors which includes poor infrastructure, huge gap with progressing world in an alarming rate, brain drain, peace and instability, environmental crisis to name few of the factors.
Understandably, it is primarily the responsibility of the nations, their governments and the people to tune themselves to tackle their problems. There also lies a moral responsibility of the most affluent and powerful nations. There are also many global environmental activists who believe it is an issue of justice.
We at Queen Sheba Alumni believe that education plays a key role in solving a piled up and inter-webbed natural and man made economical and social problems of many underdeveloped nations.
Our old elementary school and Secondary school is suffering and it is at the stage of collapse. The school was left unattended in the recent 30 years. One of our Alumni members, now living in United States was shocked to find his name on the walls of his long time class room the way he wrote it back then...it is still there. The reasons of failing to renovate and maintain the school is not from negligence. It was due to shortage of adequate resources, money and budgets.
It is fact that so much is done in the region in building new schools to reach out to more families and students in the region. Resources are not enough and they are always stretched to accommodate as more as possible. As former students, we are trying to raise funds to maintain and strengthen the collapsing old school of ours but our capacity to do it by ourselves is not enough and we welcome any one to help us in maintain and strengthen our school. You can help us in cash, equipments, books, teaching materials, laboratory and workshop equipments or any thing which you think will be help full for our school.
As Environmental Science scholar, I might hint that renewable energy technology, how to books, technical materials, how to build and make renewable energy harvesting technologies, solar panel making tools, wind turbine manufacturing technologies, biofuel processing technologies, equipments and others might be very help full for the arid zones of our region. Used medical equipments, medical science demonstration and teaching equipments in schools, chemistry, biology and physics lab equipments can be also very helpful. Why not an old computer in your garage..look around it might be seating idle. Send it to us and it will help many.
