As planned all of us woke up early but the fact that the hotel we were staying in only had one bathroom delayed everything for us. We had 2 schools to cover today but I was happy that we wouldn't have to walk more than an hour. My legs have been sore for a while now.
Our first school was in Barnalu VDC and it was called Rajya Laxmi Secondary School. The principal of the school seemed very committed and very loyal to the school. On asking the locals told us that Mission Aqua had made a big impact to the school and the children. They felt that after knowing about Mission Aqua the school was forced to manage electricity line and to bring water to the school. This will not only give the students clean drinking water but also increases the scope of the school for infrastructure development.
Our second school was called Bhagwati Primary School. It was a small school with only 110 students. we gave them posters and handouts about the water borne diseases and taught them about the importance of clean drinking water. The installation was delayed a little by the rain but the orientation went smooth.
On our way to the first school we followed some children wearing school uniforms and found another school that needed our attention. It was a private school supported by Canadians but the situation of drinking water was worse than others. All of us want to do something for the school and hopefully we will be!
