Chanetsa & Mapanga Primary schools reporting updates

Hi everyone! Recently I have had reports from two schools from the same Ward in Murewa District as Pakati schools, namely Chanetsa Primary and Mapanga Primary.

Pictures & information are courtesy of My Kadzimu, Head of Chanetsa, and our good friend Vari Mayez of VaTonatsa Foundation, whose Aunt is Mrs Maenzaise, Head of Mapanga. We are most grateful for what they have sent us.

Both of them were recipients of donations from Friends of Pakati back 2022, as seen here; https://friendsofpakati.com/2022/10/11/pakati-visit-2022-days-4-5-other-ward-14-schools/

Here is what is happening at Chanetsa…..

*SIG furniture :40 standard chairs and desks.. Chanetsa Primary School.*

*Chanetsa Primary School Athletics uniform.*

*Chanetsa Primary; Prefects induction at Jakopo Business Centre Community Hall*

Next, we ho to Mapanga.

This from Vari Mayez: “Hi Chris how are you doing? I am ok. I was in Mapanga recently to see the Vatonatsa beneficiaries (now at 6 students as most are in High School now). Was taking the school stationery and measuring the uniform sizes for them. Mrs Maenzanise & most of the teachers send their regards. I plan to go back soon when the uniforms are ready to deliver them. Here are some pictures from the visit”

*I had gone with stationery and to see what their uniform sizes are so that soon I can go back with the uniforms.*

I took time to counsel the kids, encourage them to work hard and to hear what they dream of becoming in the future. This year we have 4 beneficiaries in grade 7, one in grade 6 and one in grade 4

*The washpoints to help in Cholera prevention as there is an outbreak*

*They recently constructed a flush system toilet. For the meantime they use buckets to flush.*
