Update on the Library furnishing project

Table Number 1 to put in the school library at the Rukoki School

Several plastic chairs have also been procured to act as seats for library users

Plastic chairs to be used in the school library 

We have 3 campuses in different locations and my dream is that each place should have its own library where kids can sit and read a book from the many that we have.

I have procured some timbers in my attempts to make bookshelves where books can be kept and made available to the kids on a free self service.

Timbers arrive at the school to make in book shelves 

My intention in this is to put in place book libraries at the schools in my journey of fighting against ignorance.

I made two bookshelves which is likely to shelter scores of books on free thought, Science, Social studies, maths, languages, auto biographies, Arts subjects at secondary level, primary school text books, reading for pleasure literature, magazines, journals, periodicals, newsletters and educative posters.

Fund raiser to furnish our school library

A friend of mine created a fund-raiser to aid the school accomplish some of its needs and is raising a specified amount of funds.

Her name is Cheryl Rømerø Gardner, she is a great woman, rational, passionate about my works, a great fan of science and humanism and a friend of Kasese Humanist School

Some of our books at one of the schools we own

I told her that if the fundraiser is a success, i would dedicate those funds to furnish one of our school libraries with adequate furniture as in book shelves, seats and reading tables. The good thing is; we already have the library room but lacks adequate furniture to suit the purpose.

THE CHICKEN FARM PROJECT

Kasese Humanist School is coming up with a chicken project late this year .

In some years back, the school had a similar project that aimed at providing eggs for the kids free of charge and we did that over the years, by then we were still renting at the Railway Building properties in the outskirts of Kasese Town.

The proposed Chicken Palace at Kasese Humanist School Rukoki

When we relocated our permanent home at Rukoki, we continued with the project for some 2 years and as the school expanded we were obliged to halt this project and re-purpose the building to shelter the boys so it was made a dormitory which actually at present accommodates 22 boys.

Recently as we were making fences and house modification works project, we created a big spacious building which we had initially planned to be a dining area for our students.

BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT

In a brief meeting i had with the School management, we realized that if we created a poultry farm in this building the school,the project will offer the below benefits:

Free range chicken to be reared at the school

•  Generate some income that will help in uplifting the school financial muscle and be in position to supplement it on paying teachers salaries.

• Will act as a learning demonstration tool to help kids know more about chicken keeping, chicken feeding habits, disease control.

• The project will help in generating eggs and meat which can be eaten to supplement the diet of the teachers and the children.

• The project will generate manure which will act as organic fertilizer which will be available free of charge and will be spread in the nearby gardens inside and outside of the school fence.

• The teachers themselves will have shares in the project and will be required to own some chicken inside the poultry palace, this will help them to improve on their welfare.

PROJECT BENEFICIARIES:

•        Teachers at the school

• ·         Children who study at our Rukoki campus
• 
  
• ·         The school management
• 
  
• ·         Community of Rukoki and Kasese as a whole

PROJECT ACTIVITIES
The maroon roofed building will have to be shuttered, wire meshed windows will be added, some plastic sheet put on the roofs to offer a nice illumination of the inside area, two internal compartments will be created at the extreme end to also provide a small room for the poultry keeper and the inside area will just be leveled.

The chicken house will bear a plaque sign bearing the words  THE CHICKEN PALACE

The nearby garden near this building will all be in a fenced area for privacy purposes.
