We've been working on our Model Classroom Project for a while now. Our plan was to refurbish a classroom in Chemchem Primary School in Kibaya to show what a stimulating learning environment looks like. The project is now firmly on the ground.
Assembling the teacher's desk
Mr. Jonas painted the classroom but things really took off when we added the teaching materials that we purchased in Dar es Salaam on our recent shopping safari. The funds for the project were very kindly donated by the Tanzania Development Trust (TDT) which made this achievement possible.
Pupils eager to help with the unloading
A few teaching materials make a real difference. Things that Canadian elementary school students take for granted like maps, globes, comfortable furniture, a few interesting books and a bulletin board left these kids wide eyed.
Things starting to shape up where a pile of firewood used to sit
The pupils, teachers and Head Teacher were delighted when things started to take shape on Friday afternoon. Everyone wanted to participate by helping to unload the truck and then to set up the equipment. The kids eyes were glued to the books and maps.
