A Year Later: "My goal is to achieve the highest grades."

Last year, the students at ACK St. Luke's Shanderema Primary School students spent most of their days taking shifts to go to the community spring to collect water. They missed valuable time in class and were exhausted when they returned.

"Before this borehole was drilled in our school, we used to go and fetch water from the spring, which is about two kilometers from the school. This resulted in time wasted and community fights due to overcrowding at the water point," said 12-year-old Javan L.

But since a well was installed, things changed, and students are able to stay in class and save their energy for learning.

"For me, I feel so proud to be in this school where water is available within the compound as well as clean and safe. Ever since the drilling of this water until now, I proudly drink water from the borehole without fearing of any harm of falling sick," Javan said.

Not only does Javan feel proud to attend his school now and drink water without fear of becoming sick with water-related illnesses, but he has also poured himself into learning with bright hopes for the future.

"My goal is to achieve the highest grades and move on to the next level of my studies in life, since I have more time to study," concluded Javan.
