• Both groups will be undertaking activities and workshops with school children in different spaces.
• The first group will be responsible for installing a playroom and organising activities to ensure that both children and teachers can use this space. The school currently features a library which is neither an attractive or a functional space as far as students are concerned.

These rooms will also be used for hygiene, cleanliness and health workshops and activities.
