Slum School Scout Project

Jump to Comments

A few volunteers offered to help out with a local scout group in the slums behind the station to renovate the area and improve the current, desolate situation. After clearing the area of rubbish, faeces, bricks and sewage the small team set to work. They dug holes for a new bamboo fence and secured the structures with wire, filled a hole previously brimming with sewage water with sand to reduce the health risks, advised the re-routing of a drain that runs through the garden area, planted new saplings and secured funding for future projects such as a brick path to help in the rainy season and additional educational materials.
