We sent four disposable cameras out to Cameroon and had some of the local children take them around to take pictures of their community. The cameras came back and we received some great images. Here are a few to take a look at.
We might consider doing something with them as the 2010 year comes to an end. Check back with us to see what’s next.
We sent some disposible cameras along with some US volunteers headed for Cameroon. Our instructions for the students were to take some images of where they live: people, landscapes, everyday life. We look forward to seeing what comes back and we will share those images with students in New York.
Joe and Tara joined Kevin at his school to follow up after the first collection of dimes. The sixth, seventh and eighth graders had done a first round of collection and have another to go before the school year is over in June. We also announced the winner of our contest to see who could get the closest guess to how much we raised in our first round!
We just received some wonderful art from students from the Njinikejem Village where we are helping to build a new classroom. Students were asked to draw some images of their school and where they live. Some impressive results were mailed out to us. Enjoy.
Kevin, one of our school coordinators sent us this great image of the big collection jug that is being used to hold all the dimes that the students are bringing in. Each classroom has a smaller one gallon jug that will eventually get poured into this large one. Many thanks for making it look so good!
Co-Founder Joe Gonzalez, spoke to 150 middle school students in New York City who will be helping raise money for the 10-Cent Project Solution. The assembly included a presentation of some images of the Fuli Water Project and a discussion about what life is like in Cameroon. The students will be helping to construct a new classroom in a village in Cameroon and will be sharing photos, drawings and letters to help connect both groups of students.
We have recently secured two schools in New York City to start raising dimes and build a new classroom in Cameroon. The goal is to provide the funding required to complete a new classroom for students in a village in Cameroon, and to help build a relationship with the students here in the United States.
The two schools in NYC will be keeping small gallon jugs in their classroom and then start to fill up a large water jug in the main office. We will be taking periodic trips to the bank to cash it in and see how our fundraiser is going.
