On Wednesday the 23 of May 2018 Peter from Project Bongo came to our school to talk about Project Bongo. Project bongo started because Peter was going to Africa after being an art teacher, to go and teach teachers how to teach children. When he was there, he saw that there weren’t enough water pumps for everybody.  He started by telling us how the Africans have to walk long distances to get the water to their house. Some of us put a 8kg bucket on our head like the Africans who carry the buckets on their head, it was extremely heavy and uncomfortable. There are not enough water pumps around so Peter and his charity are installing more water pumps.

After that we did an activity to guess how many buckets of water we would use different things, compared to what Africans use. The Africans find water by digging down until they find water underground 25 meters deep.

It was really interesting.
