Reason #1 WHY SHOULD WE BUILD A SCHOOL ANYWAY? We should build a school because kids in eluaai need an education so they can go to high school and college son they can get a job later in their life.

REASON #2 WHY SHOULD WE BUILD A SCHOOL ANYWAY? THE SECOND REASON WHY WE SHOULD BUILD A SCHOOL IS SO THAT KIDS DON’T HAVE TO WALK 8KM AND SO THEY CAN GET AN EDUCATION WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE KIDS. THEY SHOULD GET A CHANCE FROM THE BEGINNING.

Will you help these poor loving children You should donate money Because 10 of these children die Every minute from hunger and With your support you can help These poor children.

EDUCATION ONE FACT IS THAT THE NEAREST SCHOOL IN ELUAAI IS 8 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THERE HOUSES. MANY ARE SENT HOME FROM SCHOOL FOR LACK OF BOOKS OR UNIFORMS. GIRLS ARE FURTHER DISADVANTAGED BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO COMPLETE A NUMBER OF CHORES BEFORE BEGINNING THEIR TREK TO SCHOOL. BOYS GET FIRST PRIORTIES IN PURCHAS OF UNIFORMS AND BOOKS. FEW REACH A STANDARD OF EIGHTH GRADE AND EVEN FEWER ATTTEND HIGH SCHOOL AND THOSE THAT DO MUST ATTEND SUBSTANDARD SCHOOLS WITH POOR TEACHING AND LOW QUALITY FACILITIES.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF A CHART OF HOW MUCH MONEY THEY NEED TO BUILD 3 STANDARD CLASSROOMS AND A 4OOO LITER WATER TANK.
