Education for all

  During the end of January and start of February the IGCA team at the ABC developed a campaign to help the local community.  This campaign was aimed to promote education by the collection of school materials for further donation to a local school.

  To obtain the school materials the team asked for donations to all secondary students for an extent of three weeks. At the start people weren’t as motivated to contribute with the donations, but as the three weeks went by they started gaining more motivation. This was because the IGCA team members were promoting the campaign every morning during tutor time to all secondary school and towards the end people became aware of the campaign and helped along.  Both recycled and new material was collected for the benefit of the local public school. A sum of pencils, erasers, paper and other school materials were collected in the end.

 On the 9^th of February a squad of IGCA team members went along to the school to deliver the school materials. The people in charge of the school as well as the students greeted us with smiles and regards. One of the students even produced a speech which she recited to us during the delivery of the materials. It was a great experience in which the IGCA team became involved with the local community to promote education and development of it. Remember it is always important to think globally but act locally!
