Laanila School Helps the Water Tank Building Project in St.Aloysius Primary School in Uganda

During 2011 the schools in Oulu, Finland, took part in an energy saving competition in which they followed their electricity and water consumption each month during the whole year. The evaluation criteria of the competition did not only include the achieved savings but also the activity of the schools in handling energy themes in their daily teaching. Laanila School was one of the winners. 

In their spring meeting the Green Flag team of the school reflected upon what would be the best target for the reward money of 700 euros. As soon as they heard about the water tank building project at St. Aloysius Primary School in Uganda, there was no doubt where the students wanted the reward money to go. We hope our Ugandan friends received the money in time, and if not, we hope the money can be used for the communication development project of the school.

    1. Yes, we have! And last Thursday evening we had an open theatre show ("Theatre with popcorn"), organized by our colleague Vasco, which included the presentation of a translated and adapted version of the play they brought to Botosani. The audience, composed by pupils, teachers, parents and children, was informed about the solidarity dimension of the project, and the actors frequently reminded them (as part of the adapted version of the play) of the importance of their contributions. And it worked, because I went home with a heavy purse. We collected 160€, almost half of it in coins... I think we can feel proud of taking part in this honourable action.

      To be continued...
