Two years ago I visited a primary school with 300 students and teachers, functioning well in a very rural setting. the high school wondered if they could have 2 white boards as their blackboards were falling apart. They were very pleased when the white boards arrived. What I noted as the school layout was described that there were no toilets, just 2 trenches.
Last year the school put in a proposal for assistance to build toilets. Delta Kappa Gamma, an international professional organization for women educators took up the challenge to gather support for the toilets. the money raised, the toilets built and last week the celebration to launch their use took place. The students, teachers, parents community leader and the chief were are gathered together. A programs involving all stack holders took place.
I was introduced to the leaders in the community, Director of Education for the area, sub chiefs, and the chief. I remarked that he must be the Boss which he burst out laughing.
as this is a farming community that exists from one harvest to the next so there were never extra resources to complete such a project.. a great time was held by all!!
I was given a Citation thanking me.the kids and I in front of the bank of toilets
Great to see. Health and Happy times along with hearty hardy Harvests!
