The document is a request from a missionary school in rural South Africa called Holy Rosary School. It is located in a hot, dry climate near a nature reserve. The school serves many orphaned children affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS. It describes the poor conditions of the classrooms which have few resources beyond notebooks copied by hand. The school is requesting books to aid the students' education as they currently have no textbooks to properly study key subjects like math, science, history and literature. Friends and donations are needed to provide the students with this important resource.
