We would like to extend a warm welcome Birch Cliff Heights Public School of Toronto!
Under the leadership of teacher, Karin Schemeit, Birch Cliff Heights has joined the network of schools involved in the Uganda Water and Garden Project.
Karin volunteered at Masooli School in Uganda a couple of years ago and since that time has remained very concerned about the students' learning conditions. We have been in touch with Moses Lyagoba, the Canada Africa School Partnership (CASP) Coordinator in Uganda, who conducted a site visit of the school with the CASP Engineer.
They documented the school's desperate need for roof repair and prepared a plan to complete the repairs that would enable rain water collection.
Masooli has been formally accepted as a CASP school and as such will be participating in an educational workshop on "environmentally and economically sustainable water and food solutions" for Ugandan schools run by CASP.
Students of Birch Cliff Heights, with the support of staff and parents, have been working hard to raise funds. They are determined to help bring clean water to the children of Masooli School and they look forward to learning more about life in Uganda from their pen pals there.
Welcome Masooli School and Welcome Birch Cliff Heights!
Masooli School, Uganda
