RWECO is a civic watch dog that
enhances civic competence to demand for voice, accountability in governance and
service delivery.RWECO is implementing various projects which include a project
supporting the improvement of Eduction literacy supported by Edukans foundation
which has taken up the initiative to help
avail the organisation with various gift
boxes wrapped up for the pupils who are to receive the donation to help the
children have a good study environment at school.

Members of RWECO visited one of
the selected institutions(i.e. Mulongothi Primary School which is among the few
selected schools ) to be
given the scholastic materials donated to them by Edukans to primary four
pupils at Mulongoti Primary School.

| Children receiving the child to child gifts |
The class teacher of Primary four
class,the headmaster ,few other teachers of various subjects and members of
RWECO helped distribute gift boxes to
the respective pupils who received the items(ie books,pens pencils,playing
items like dolls;balls;skipping ropes,tooth paste,shower gel, T-shirts,caps
etc). The pupils received the gift boxes and opened the gifts with tears of joy
and admiration upon seeing what were wrapped. However the pupils due to language barrier being in the transition class (P.4) did not
understand English thus few members of RWECO and the headmaster of the school
had to translate into the native language(Lhukonzo taught from P.1-P.3) so that they would understand
what had been said to them,this is one
of the reasons why the project was implemented to help educate the
children learn English and create a good
healthy study environment in school.
Fortunately the day was a success
with distribution of the gift boxes.Many thanks to Edukans foundation who
donated the items, team members of RWECO and teachers of the schools upon
helping out distribute the gift boxes to the respective pupils in Primary Four,Mulongothi
Primary school.

RWECO, are you going to cover all schools in Kasese District, this looks good for the children. What strategies to have to follow up these children at their home because the child to child gifts may end up in the hands of adults!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShare with us how these pupils have used the gifts in improving literacy. I have liked the photos showing the pupils before and after receiving the gifts just see smiles on their face.

hello James, RWECO is only distributing to a few schools(pilot project) in Kasese District.we would love to give gifts to all schools but at the moment its not possible.
ReplyDeletethe best strategy we are going to use to follow up these gifts to see whether they have been of use to the pupils is revisiting the schools like next term and ask the pupils and teachers if the gifts have been helpful.
James, we cannot follow these children at their homes but we can only follow them up when they are at school.
