Electrification in Africa, part 2
Electrification in Africa - Let’s plan our event!
by Veronica Tomassini
In order to the practical purpouse of our project, which we have presented in a previous article, now what we propose is to organize an event, during spring 2006, in each partecipating school, to collect funds for the electrification of this school in Africa. What we have to establish is first of all when organize this common event: we have thought about the end of our school year, in late May. Nevertheless we can agree also on another period, considering that we finish school in the first week of June! Moreover we could start an exchange of ideas in order to the planning of this common event, wich can be different in each school.
Last year we organized a party for the students of all the schools of Orvieto, and in general for people who wanted to contribute to our goals.
We achieved our aims: we collected a good sum and expecially we remarked a honest solidariety. That meant we could awaken people!
During the year we realized raffles and football competitions in our school, to collect funds and publicize this project to new students.
These are some possible ideas to improve our cooperation and to plan the final event. Then we have to choose a slogan and a logo, which represent our association. They have to be shared by all schools, which take part to this event (we have already a logo of our project, which we'll be posting in the students' forum...)
We could beginn a discussion on the forum of this site, to make clear the development of the event, and also to collect opinions about this initiative.
