Monday March 27th, 2023 – Grand opening at Mau Summit

After a restful night at the Sarova Woodlands Hotel, we woke up to an invigorating breakfast and our ever friendly drivers ready to take us on the road for two major school visits.

Our first stop was Koige Primary School where we were greeted with—you guessed it—singing and dancing by the entire school population and community members! We were invited to plant a tree in honour of our visit and relationship with this school community, which was followed by even more celebration and cultural exchanges through performances and gift giving. Our students then went into each class room and taught lessons in Math, English, Music and Physical Education.

After lunch, we headed to one of our most anticipated events: the opening ceremony for the classrooms our PAA students fundraised to build at Mau Summit. Again, we were met with immeasurable gratitude and unbridled celebration.

Following our ribbon cutting, our students taught classes until the end of the school day. Such direct and prolonged interaction with students and their families left us challenged to ask ourselves what more we can do to improve the lives of our neighbours. We look forward to how this trip with continue to transform us individually and collectively.
