Rotary teams do school makeover

We've had two consecutive teams from Rotary Canada spending a couple weeks here on several work projects. One of their projects was doing a makeover on a rural school, which was my project. Some of the work was done before the team arrived and they did the finishing. The makeover includes: a new roof and floor in one classroom block, patching all classroom floors, painting all classrooms, installing a small library, handing out school supplies to the students, having a soccer tournament, giving the school sports uniforms and balls, and rehabilitating the borehole at the school. It's an amazing difference, definitely improved the learning environment at the school. But again, it's little by little, because the school still faces a whole bunch of challenges (like latrines, teacher housing, desks, etc.).

Check out the team's daily blog to learn more about their experiences here.
