Dear Mom and Dad:
We had a very special guest today named Mr. Dudoni. He used
to go to a school in Tanga Tanzania. For the past five years since Cranston has
been opened, we have helped to raise money for the school. Mr. Dudoni shared with
us many pictures from Tanga. One of our
favorites were pictures of the students in Tanga reading letters and looking at
pictures from Cranston school! We learned that their school does not have very
much. Mr. Dudoni takes our donations back to Tanga and buys school supplies and
materials locally for the school. Mr. Dudoni even hires workers in the local
area to help repair the school floors and roof.
All three classes had music today.
Question of the day: Post on the blog something you learned
from Mr. Dudoni today.
Love,
The Rainbow Triad

Morgan learned that the kids in Tanzania have different kinds of music. They speak another language. One of the schools there had a leaky roof that needed to be replaced. Our school helped replace the roof :)
ReplyDeleteLexi learned that Mr. Dudoni takes donations from Cranston School to buy books for Tanga school, used cement to fill holes in the floor and painted the walls of the school.
ReplyDeleteFiona learned that the children do not have very many supplies. She also learned that they do not have janitors to clean the school. The children have to clean the classroom themselves.
ReplyDeleteHe told us that his school did not have a Roof
ReplyDeleteSam says he learned that the school has no roof and the children do all the cleaning because there is no one else to do it and their town doesnt have enough money. Sam says they have a market but cannot buy brand new food they only get the older food.
ReplyDeleteAnya learned that a couple of years ago, the schools didn't have roofs.
