2 Latrines at Elohim Basic School

The School learned how to construct a pit lining and how to take good measurements of latrines when constructing a latrine and how to construct a super structure. They enjoyed how to construct pit lining and a super structure. The School appreciated SHIP and the Rotary Club for the latrine constructed because the school latrines are not in good shape and the school has learned how to construct a good structure.

The School authority and the committee members enjoyed how to construct a pit lining because most of them thought is it was a waste of time but after the lesson they appreciated the pit lining in a latrine and will do the same for other ones that they will do in future.

 

The Head teacher and the School committee members are very thankful to SHIP and Rotary Club for the good assistance of constructing the latrines and they are looking forward to even more projects with the Rotary Club.

The School especially enjoyed the physical lesson of constructing the VIP latrines, slabs and pit lining. The pupils and teachers learned how important it is to put a pit lining so that the latrine does not collapse. They also learnt the importance of having a strong slab and they learnt this by participating.

 

The School authority thanked SHIP and the Rotary Club for the construction of the latrines, they further added that this is the way they will build their latrines at home.

Rotary: Group 12 (Santa Maria-Nipomo) Well – Kululu Basic School

August 24, 2011by hannah in Champion, Organizations & Companies, Rotary tagged

Jones Kamata of Kalulu Basic School, on behalf of the school and community, thanked Rotary and Seeds of Hope for the work and help that was rendered to them. The School is very grateful that we drilled a borehole for them. Most of the time they didn’t receive water from the state water taps and it became a burden for the school to conduct classes. Lessons cannot be conducted without water because the sanitation becomes a problem and also just water for drinking. Everyone is now excited about the blessing that has been brought to them.

 

Rotary: Group 12 (Santa Maria-Nipomo) Well- Kafubu Block Community School

August 24, 2011by hannah in Champion, Organizations & Companies, Rotary tagged

Mike Mbewe on behalf of the School thanked Rotary and Seeds of Hope for  drilling them a borehole. The place had no other water sources, no taps or hand dug wells and thus people had to walk a distance of 100m to 150m, which proved difficult most of the time because during class times students were unable to address the issue of getting water. Now however, everyone is happy at school and so are the villagers. He further  asked God to bless Seeds of Hope and Rotary and the work being carried out.

Rotary: Dulles International Airport: Luanshya Schools Projects

Mwanawasa Community School celebrates their new well

 

We asked Patrick Coleman, former District Governor of the Luanshya Rotary Clubs, to share the vision for the Water for Education; project and how the wells drilled at schools in the area had changed the communities & lives. Here is what he said:

The whole “Water for Education” idea came about because of a conversation I had with Mr Chileshe, the principal of Kasongo Basic School (grades 1-9) in a village about 12 miles from Luanshya. I was there in my capacity as Luanshya District Education Board Chair. I asked Mr Chileshe what his biggest challenge was at the school and he said dysentery.

I asked him how many students in the school suffered from this ailment he told me all 750 students and all 12 of the teachers suffered from this.

At this point I wanted to see the water source and discovered that everyone drank from the same shallow, uncovered, extremely dirty well.

So, the Rotary Club of Luanshya drilled a 50 metre (162 feet) well and placed a hand pump on the well. 6 weeks later I visited the school again and asked Mr Chileshe about the health of the students and teachers. None of them had missed school in the past month due to dysentery.

One well affected the lives of over 700 students, the teachers and their families. Over 2,000 people are drinking clean water, able to attend classes and are able to work because Rotary made a difference.

We are hearing this same story in every school where Rotary and Seeds of Hope International Partnerships have come together to make life better in rural villages all over the Luanshya District. The Ministry of Education is now working hand-in-hand with us giving us blanket permission to drill wells at every school where there is no well.

 

Success breeds success!

 

YIR,

Patrick
