As part of our ongoing partnership with the Keur Soce primary school, we recently completed the rehabilitation of all the desks in the school.They look absolutely amazing! Before, there were 3-4 kids to each small desk, making for distracted kids and uncomfortable learning conditions.
Now the kids all have a place to sit and are not in danger of getting cuts/slivers or worse from using broken desks. The entire job was completed on site while the kids were on spring break. Wish we could have been there to see their faces when they got back!
The desk project was done in partnership with Legacy International who run a vocational training school in a nearby town, giving young men the tools and training they need to learn woodworking and welding.
We have now rehabbed all the classroom floors, painted the entire school, installed secure windows, instituted a very popular breakfast program and started a school garden.
Next up, small classroom libraries - and a playground!
