Exhibit 2 - Global Project 2233173: Kenya School Toilet Block
 
 
PP Chris Whelan presented the Media pack, which forms part of the final report on the Kenyan School upgrade to enable it to better serve the needs of students with disabilities.  
 
This covered stage 2 of the project - the provision of a new toilet block, all built with local labour and local materials.  The old “drop toilets” were a deterrent to school attendance, and with education the critical element in securing a better future for the students, new toilets were needed to make their dreams a reality.  Talking of dreams, the driving force behind the special needs unit is the charity Mama Respond, led by “our” Erin Hegarty, a frequent guest at Applecross Rotary meetings.  https://www.mamarespond.org/our-team
 
Chris began our active involvement in the toilet block upgrade after meeting Paul Katambana at the RI Convention in Singapore last year.  Paul has demonstrated a number of times, that he was equally as good at Chris in getting things done, and that’s really saying something.  People of Action!
