It is nothing short of amazing just how many useable school supplies such as computers, books and furniture are thrown on the skips. David Miles-Hanschell actively seeks out these supplies and re-cycles them by using containers to ship them all over the world to schools desperate for such items.

13/09/2010 Recently my charitable company  was able to access  the assistance of another  team of  five individuals  from the Community Services Criminal Justice Department at the Muirhouse Social Work  Centre,  to work in Unit 12 the  charity’s industrial  storage unit in Edinburgh. Over the past  three years. It  has also  received vital help with the uplift and loading of containers from Community Services teams  from their units  in Glenrothes and Barrhead. The leader of this charitable company  has worked alongside these teams in the loading of the containers and when ever possible has sought the   cooperation  of these young people and explained why the assistance they gave, was essential in achieving the charity’s  objectives.

 

03/07/2010 The Surplus Educational Supplies Foundation  made arrangements with West Dunbartonshire Council to load one of the charity’s 40’ ocean freight containers with  primary school educational resources from Golden Hill Primary School, Goldenhill, Hardgate,Clydebank. Some of the resources collected that day have subsequently been shipped to a school in Ghana, see www.IT4Africa.com
West Africa That this council considered surplus to their education system’s requirements this salvage could not have been accomplished without the pro bono and goodwill assistance of InterServe Projects Ltd, Birmingham  and Alan Galt Transport Ltd, Dumbarton.

 

01/04/2010 Surplus Educational Supplies Foundation became the tenant of Unit 12  West Shore Business Centre, Longcraig Rigg, Granton, Edinburgh, EH51QT. Leased from Waterfront Edinburgh Limited  rent free until 31/03/2011.
