Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Before we leave India we're taking on one last challenge: a 10km fun run from field base to Chamundi Hill! We want to raise money towards the local school near Field Base in Jayapura, so that the kids there stay fit and healthy while they learn.
The school desperately needs a new drainage system to clear waste water from the grounds. The current system of an open drain runs down the side of the playground, and gets clogged easily with dirt and food waste. We also want to provide bins for the dinner scraps, so that they can be fed to local cows instead of blocking up the drains.
There are only 3 toilets in the school for 360 pupils, so in future we would like to be able to provide more.
We have also started a health education programme to train 2 "little doctors" from each class to look after their classmates and make sure they are keeping themselves and their environment clean and healthy. We would like to provide them with some teaching resources, like paper and paints to make posters, and with hygiene kits containing items like soap, nail clippers, scrubbing brushes and nit combs, to help them in their task.
