The new school term which started on 6th January 2014, has already registered a number of successes regarding Why Wait.
A number of schools organised football matches between the learners and members of the community. The idea is to foster a good relationship between the schools and the community. With this good relationship, it is easy for both teachers and members of the community to work together in shaping the behaviour of the learners.
One of the schools went to clean a clinic (mopping, slashing and washing walls). They did this as a way of putting into practice one of the things they learnt in a Why Wait – being good citizens.
All schools have action plans on what they intend to do as a way of putting into practice what they learn. The plans include doing charity work for the needy and vulnerable in their communities, organising open days where members of the community will be invited to watch different performances aimed at pointing out some cultural practices that are harmful especially in the context of HIV and AIDS and exchange visits among many other things.
We are convinced that empowering our teachers will make them produce wonders with the pupils they teach.
