Published: September 18, 2009 Volunteering is a wonderful aspect of life, Judy Lorimer should know. Lorimer has been with the Build a School in Africa organization since 2002, building her way through Africa to help children who do not have the same advantages to education as we do. Lorimer is a retired Kindergarten teacher who travels to Mali, Africa twice a year. She began as a mentor for a high school student, Kyla McKenna, who needed an idea for her humanities project. Knowing that Lorimer took frequent trips to Africa for dance, McKenna decided to raise money to build a school. Almost $20,000 was raised within two years and then the construction began. Between 2005 and 2008, four middle schools have been built in the Kolondieba district (half of the size of Massachusetts). To build one school, it takes about three months. Each school includes three classrooms, two latrines, and an administration office as well as a library. Although Lorimer does not construct the actual school building, she helps by educating children about nutrition, gardening, and other essentials to a child's knowledge. Classes are able to hold up to 120 students; almost 400 students per school. Every year, Lorimer funds $10,000 for the Build a School in Africa foundation (one third of the final cost). Her profits come from the African Rhythms dance shows during the spring and other fundraisers, which include a two-day horseback trail ride, presentations, and selling homemade African jewelry, crafts and drums. Many churches, schools, and individuals have held events such as bake sales and benefit shows to help raise money for the foundation. All the profits go to into the schools; building and furniture. “We’ve gotten donations from $10 to $1000,” says Lorimer. As the director of the Build a School in Africa project, she is a role model for many. Lorimer is going to continue her role in the organization for “as long as I can keep living and dancing.” Achieving much in suppressed time, Lorimer is among the nation's heroes. Bringing hope and inspiration to the community, she says, "One person can accomplish a lot." Photos Copyright © Judy Lorimer
