Building Friendships
OK. So the broadband signal isn't great at Endonyiosidai Primary School and at Inchorroi School so internet work can be a laborious task. We would like to involve children in a Welsh school on a 'knowledge sharing project' to share and compare their own IT environment with that at our Masaai schools. These days we use broadband to pursue and explore opportunities... friendships on social media.. applications for future education.. accessing information for school work... The term 'Google it' and the ease with which we do that hasn't the same relevance at Endonyiosidai yet. Until a schools project comes up with some ideas of ways to improve it... it is what it is.
What the laptops do allow the Masaai children to do is to learn how to use computer software in the classroom. The headteacher at both schools now use the laptops in their day to day administration work.
Building friendships between Masaai and Welsh children is important for The Moses Project. We share so much yet our lives differ so greatly, and empathy can come from joined up thinking between children.
Questions the children of Endonyiosidai ask:
......how can Man Utd could be so bad this season!
..... Why is the river that once ran past the school dry?
The Masaai children are not aware that there is an issue of the amount of plastic ending up in our oceans. They will not have seen the pictures and the news reports - as they have limited access to the internet. At least they have a legitimate excuse!
Being able to use computers in the future will allow them access to more global information about the issues facing our planet. But most of all, it will allow us to be friends.
