ReefDoctor and Rotary Club Tricastin help Ifaty Primary School september 07
Nov 16, 2008
Since the first collaborative project with Rotary to repair the Ifaty public primary schools food storeroom and canteen area, the continued interest from Rotary members in helping the Ifaty school and Ifaty children has grown.
Rotary held another fair, selling items from rice to t-shirts, pens and a few locally made Malagasy handy craft to raise money for new school materials for the Ifaty school and they managed to raise 300 euros.
Due to government budget cuts for the 2007 school year, the school (and all schools in the region) was in desperate need of standard school materials for the children and teachers.
ReefDoctor spent the 300 Euros on much needed materials for teachers for teaching the standard curriculum courses and we bought the best quality materials available to ensure they last in the hot and humid conditions.
Purchased items included;
- chalk of all colours, pens, pencils, colouring sets,
- blackboard – rulers, set squares, triangles, compasses
- administration paper and copy sheets
- large paper for work
- few text books
- note books for all students and teachers
And much more, thus providing materials for all classes for all the 320 pupils for 2007 through to 2008 school year.
We hope that these small fundraising events can be continued to help the school and other schools in the Bay provide the standard class materials that the regional government is finding hard to achieve and hopefully provide more school materials to create a more fully functional and inspirational learning environment.
