Following the World Water Day on March 22 the school and the students wanted to take action.
They chose the WASH program to support UNICEF in Malawi. WASH - Water,
Sanitation and Hygiene for all!
5000: many children die every day from unsafe water and poor hygiene. By
using soap this number can be halved. Other 'tools' of Unicef are
sugar and salt, against dehydration from diarrhea. The use of
water purification tablets and the importance of information for local populations is necessary.
Under this action UNICEF visited the school. For students in
the second and third degree was given a guest lecture followed by a WaSH game.
After watching a film about life in Malawi, all students were convinced:
pure water is precious, do not waste it! So do not forget to wash your hands. But excludes tap quickly, because every drop counts!
To support the WaSH program of UNICEF , students, teachers and parents walked 6 km on Friday, March 25 . Millions of people need every day
average 6 km steps to collect water for their basic services.
The students were sponsored and brought to this meeting € 616.23 in favor of the WaSH program.
