Project Description
- We have installed water pipes to connect two buildings to the City water system because these buildings contain classrooms, school kitchen and school library but without any water services. After installation, there is no need to go to two other buildings already connected to potable City water. The beneficiary will be responsible for maintaining these pipes and the water quality will also be tested to ensure it’s safe for drinking.
- We have established an “Edible Schoolyard” garden following the Berkeley, Calif. USA chef Alice Waters’ “Edible Schoolyard Project” guidelines. It will be a sustainable garden based on the theory that we start small & add to the garden little by little through learning from experience.
- Land-grading and landscaping have also been carried out to address water drainage and soil erosion issues. The Water Drainage work will create safe school grounds and stop soil erosion.
- We have also conducted Montessori Math professional development classes for teachers, as well as sewing and personal development classes for parents.
