Why this school?
The Uasonyiro Primary School is not like any other school, it's a one of a kind school. This is because this school harvest the rain and filters it to clean water. The school teaches all the children there many subjects, including English. Now onto the reason why we chose this school. In the last summer break we made an unforgettable trip to Kenya. During this trip we saw a lot of wildlife, but we also visited the communities there. We saw the inside of the houses, we went to a group called SATUBO, and we visited the Uasonyiro Primary School. This was an absolutely amazing experience, we received a very warm welcome. After meeting some of the children and classes they prepared an amazing dance for us, and yes, we also danced with them. After we left, we immediately decided we wanted to give them back something.
Why Joy for Waterbank?
When we started this project we first had to get an idea of what we wanted to get them. This was when we remembered that before we left we played a bit of soccer with them. And when we left we saw that all they had for a break to play with or for equipment for PE was a ball made out of fabric and a volleyball net that was barely standing up.
And that was the moment the entire project came together.
We finished setting up our goal to get a clear vision of what we what we want to achieve and buy for this school.
