A Celebration of Water at Kinu Primary School!
On Nov 23rd the RT. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Parliament of the Republic of Uganda, presided over a ceremony to inaugurate the water tanks and celebrate the Canada Africa School Partnership (CASP) as an officially registered community based organization. The festivities took place at Kinu Primary School.
The students formed a parade through the village to draw people, young and old, to the school for the celebration!
The banner in the parade read: Canada Africa School Partnership (CASP), With Partnership We Achieve, Launching on 23 Nov 2009. CASP is now a registered Community Based Organization in Uganda.
Here is the tank that students from BAS, Kimberley, Adam Beck and Monarch Park built. The plaque recognizes the Toronto schools that raised funds.
The entire community came out to celebrate the provision of water to 700 student at Kinu Primary School.
Speeches were given my local leaders and government officials. Here is the head teacher (principal) of Kinu Primary School.
A speech prepared by us, the Social Responsibility in Education Committee of Toronto, was read by a PLAN Uganda/International representative, Mr. Sam Acodu.
The RT Hon Rebecca Kadaga presided and inagurated both water tanks (including the second one here that was provided by UNESCO to match our contribution).
Everyone sang and danced!
