In our travels this week we passed this school that had a clean water sign on the side of the school. This is exactly what I am trying to teach them about cleaning the water instead of boiling. |
We are just about to start the first of 3 handovers. This is at a catholic school with about 700 students. |
The Priest is talking and praying and the students all joined in. Martin, our champion is on the left, then E & S Howard. Our contractor took the picture. |
Some of the older students. The schools went from kindergarten to graduation. So all ages. |
They had a ribbon cutting ceremony. |
One of the council members tested the water and pronounced it good! |
Everyone was happy! and we went on to the next school. |
This is Bugerere primary school and the kids are excited. Not quite as fancy as the catholic school but everyone here was very helpful to our contractor. |
They sent the kids back to class and we were left with the committee members. They carried desks out of the classrooms in the back so we had seating. |
Another ribbon cutting! With scissors that didn't want to cut!' |
Finally it worked and they had a thank you gift for us. |
A bunch of matoke and a Billy goat, presented to E Howard. We were not quite sure what we should do but they loaded him into the back of our truck! We went over to the final school. |
This school is Bugerere High school and a partner to the primary school. We used the same scissors for the ceremony. |
E Howard trys his hand at pumping the water. |
She is wondering what is happening. A truck ride? |
