MATIPWILI PRIMARY SCHOOL TRANSFORMED!!



Students and staff from Scotch College and Presbyterian Ladies College in Perth, Western Australia recently visited us at Kisampa and spent most of their time working in the village renovating the Primary School.

Their task had begun long before they left home as they worked hard to raise funds for their project.

Armed with heaps of energy, and eagerness as well as cement, corrugated iron, paint, brushes,tools, overalls and gloves the 24 students and 6 staff set to work.

In four days they completely renovated four classrooms in the school from dark and dingy rooms with leaking roofs and no doors to light, airy, welcoming and clean places to learn.

And all the while they had a lot of fun, made friends in the village, learned some Kiswahili and impressed us all with their drive and enthusiasm.

They have left funds for the sponsorship of a needy student through Secondary School so our ties with the Perth schools will be continued.

Asante Sana Scotch College and Presbyterian Ladies College.

KARIBU TENA KISAMPA AND MATIPWILI.....you are very welcome to visit Matipwili and Kisampa again!!
