When Wawa United received a referral for this project, it represented the typical beneficiaries of the Wawa United School Project funding. The building was dilapidated, the pupils are stacked in the few desks available, while others take sit on the ground. The teachers had not writing desks or writing materials.
We committed our agent and representative to meet the school principal for fact finding and need identifications. Among the needs identified were school desks for the pupils, writing desks and arm chairs for the teachers, whiteboards marker and erasers, and office desk and armchair for the headmistress, reinforcing the school storage that doubles as the storage and headmistresses office, with burglary proofs, new doors and windows.
Wawa United changed the face of the classrooms by providing 60 pupils desks, 8 writing desks and arm chairs for the teaches, an office desk and arm chair for the headmistress, 8 white boards and accessories, and wall screen to separate the classes. New ceiling was added to the school storage. The storage was plastered, painted, and reinforced with burglary proofs.
The presentation of the school materials were received with fanfare and dancing. The entire community of Obeleagu Umana Okpudo, Umana, their leaders and prominent members of the community gathered together to receive the materials.
