Wayamba Primary School Celebrates 50 Years!
It was a festive mood at the celebration of Wayamba Primary School’s 50th year, which followed a weeklong affair of community cleanups and communal meals that brought everyone together. On this day of the main event, students performed songs, poems, and traditional dances for the guests consisting of students, parents, community leaders and media. Girls of all ages danced in brightly colored sarongs and men beat their hand held drums before throngs of turquoise-clad school children who formed a big circle around the performers.
Create Change staff members, Shane and Benedicta were invited to the celebrations as guests on and were responsible for capturing these great shots.
Create Change has played an integral role in the recent development of the school. The building of a rainwater holding tank last year has provided students and staff with clean and convenient drinking water. This in turn allows them more time to dedicate towards learning rather than engaging in the time consuming practices of water fetching. It also decreases the presence of water-borne diseases, resulting in less time being sick and more time for school, family, and fun.
Thanks to our generous donors, Wayamba Primary School has a little more to Celebrate on this 50th year and we thank them for inviting us along! We hope to be of continuing service to their mission to educate and uplift youth in their community.
