朋友伙伴关系

改善全民教育的第一步是培养三亿体育APP的全球公民技能. A good education needs to include opportunities to get to know children from different countries 和 learn more about their 原理图ools, 家庭, 社区, 信仰和价值观. 通过这些个人联系, 三亿体育APP们不仅获得了关于他们的地球村的知识, they also form relationships that make them truly care about finding solutions to global problems—such as poverty, 疾病和洁净水的缺乏阻碍了所有人的教育.

通过密友的合作关系, 三亿体育APP的三亿体育APP和老师已经从事定期, 通过电子邮件进行长期沟通, 合作学校之间的网络会议和师生访问. 虽然最初是为一年级和低年级三亿体育APP设计的, 这种合作关系已经扩展到所有部门的三亿体育APP.

对环境可持续性的共同承诺是密友项目的三个核心目标之一. 三亿体育APP engage in environmental sustainability projects at each of the 密友 原理图ools 和 share their ideas 和 experiences with one another through the partnership.

这一承诺是在2006年在莫尔文举行的夏季会议上付诸实践的, 来自密友学校的教师和管理人员, where it was agreed that the three 原理图ools would focus their sustainable practices study on water conservation issues. Curricula 和 projects were developed 在 a number of grade levels at the 原理图ools to help students learn 和 share information about rain water harvesting, 他们社区的清洁饮用水来源, 和花园灌溉. 通过这些项目, students developed a better underst和ing of both the productive 和 nonproductive uses of water in our three different parts of the world.

随着这项工作的进展, our students have continued to collaborate to identify 和 implement possible methods to help ensure that clean water is available to all.

在三亿体育APP持续的合作关系中, 已经发展了若干项目, 旨在鼓励全民教育的理想.

项目包括:

• 基的中学社会行动俱乐部收集二手书送到Chumbageni
• Creating 和 selling African animal note cards 和 calendars to raise funds to build a Kindergarten classroom at Chumbageni
• 创建CHUMS4Watoto, a parent/teacher community group at Chumbageni 和 Somers Park that is delivering continued secondary education for orphaned pupils. 它在英国具有慈善性质, 2008年1月，首批16名三亿体育APP被安置在当地一所高中. 预计这个团体将增长到100多名三亿体育APP. 小三亿体育APP因艾滋病、疟疾、痢疾、肺结核等而成为孤儿. 他们的学费、设备费用、制服、医疗需求和住宿都得到资助.
• Provision of a water retention 和 distribution system at Chumbageni Primary School to serve a community of 8,000. 因为Chumbageni的水目前需要购买, 节省下来的钱将用于购买书籍和其他教育用品.
• The completion of a computer room at Chumbageni Primary School with broadb和 internet access allowing for more frequent communication between the partner 原理图ools.
• Key's third 和 fourth grades maintain ongoing pen pal projects with students at both Somers Park 和 Chumbageni, 分别.
• 每年, 幼儿园参与“为Chumbageni跑步”项目, 为购买Chumbageni的新桌子和额外厕所筹集资金.
• A drip irrigation project provides an opportunity for interested Key School sixth graders to work with Kindergarten students. Older students teach the younger ones how the Chapin Living Waters bucket drip irrigation system works 和 why it is so important to conserve water. 该系统通过在雨桶中收集雨水来灌溉花园来实现这一目标.
