The Village Project has been successfully completed. Peepville was developed into a thriving village complete with all the necessary public buildings, government officials, a Buddhist/Orthdodox/Catholic religious center, roads, a lake, monuments, and all. I am very proud of all of the 16 students who participated in the creation of Peepville. We worked hard and learned the importance of civic participation and had some fun doing it. All in all the project was a great success!
In conjunction with the new kitchen and canteen project, we organized some health and hygene seminars for the entire school. Each student attended one of these seminars given by our health volunteer, Adam Troy, and the school nurse, Ms. Ala. At the end of each seminar the school director and I addressed the students about how many people have donated their money and time for them to have the oppotunity to eat a healthy meal each day at school. We spoke about their responsibility for making healthy choices themselves and for helping maintain the upkeep of their new canteen. There were also food prep hygene seminars given to all of the kitchen staff. We are very excited about this project, and thankful to all who have donated. If you have not yet, please go to the website listed below to read more about the project and make a tax deductible donation. We are very close to full funding, and a few more small donations would give us that extra push to full funding.
