Sala Balat is a very big school, which counts no less than 480 pupils. All of them are not as poor as in Dâksoso, but this will allow us to create a special bond with the headmistress of the school, and to work closely with the poorer children of the school who don’t attend school on a regular basis. Furthermore, we’ll look for children whose family‘s situation are very critical. We could then work in partnership with the teachers to facilitate the integration of those children in the school.

 

 

Many of the children here are more active than the children in Dâksoso; they shout, they sing, and act very responsively when they receive their school survival kits. This school has the great opportunity of having a library which contains a lot of educational children’s books. Several of the classrooms are filled with children’s drawings and also some made by the teachers. Sala Balat has the chance of having a very dynamic lady as its headmistress, and she understood from the beginning the goals of our work. She will surely be a precious ally in our fight against the trafficking in children and for bringing all children basic education.




Not only did we give school survival kits to all the children, but we also provided many whiteboards for the classrooms and stationary for the school stock, as well as some twenty books for the library. There are some orphans in the school and kids with problems far too heavy for them to deal with, but now that we are well established in the school, we will be able to help them. This schooling day has gone beyond our expectations; it was a real success and the happiness of those 480 pupils is still resonating in my mind. I would like to congratulate all the 13 volunteers from AVEC who have worked extremely hard and unselfishly to make this day a great success.
