The task was met with positivity and enthusiasm by all and despite the fiddly, physical challenges for some, everyone made at least 2 light units, some made 7. The students were supported by school staff, the team from Lights for Learning and representatives of the Cirencester Rotary Club who very kindly donated £1000 to fund the project.
The lights will be fitted in the school by the local Zambian team who have been trained by Lights for Learning. Doug Staff from Crowdys Hill School will be escorting the lights to Zambia and will work with the team to install them. Each light will be accompanied by a postcard from the year 9 pupils and a booklet about themselves. We are hopeful that the pupils of Kamwi Primary School will write back to us with information about their life.
