Fote – Adopt a Village

In December 2008, News.com.au partnered with Little and LOUD to help increase awareness about Fote Primary School to Australian readers and fund a special Christmas gift for the kids. Our readers and supporters together raised an amazing AUD$15,000 in just four weeks. Our objectives were to put that money towards:

• Supporting physical education
• Supporting creative learning
• Supporting literacy
• osting a special christmas movie night in the village under the stars
• Building a more comfortable, hygienic and safe learning environment
• Provide storage space

By December 2009 Little and LOUD have done the following for Fote Primary School thanks to Australia’s help!

• Organized a special Christmas celebration with a feast, dancing, and an outdoor cinema for all families of the community
• New storage building for school equipment
• New timber building for the Pre-Class (kindergarten) made from demolishing the old dilapidated building and re-using the material
• Installed security wires and locks across all of the windows
• Painted the school buildings
• New sanitation block
• New and more sports equipment, reading books, art materials, educational posters and office supplies
• English classes for students and teachers
• Computer skills class for teachers and adults
