When Virtues Project International Association (VPIA), supported by Virtues Connection Kakamega, committed to the installation of water tanks at the school, they expected to be fundraising for two more water tanks to complete their water project. Instead, the water tank (covered in virtues words along with a message to honor those who made it possible), inspired another Non-Governmental Organization to finish the water project (large tank) along with installation of six new toilets at the school. The students at Mwiyenga Primary School no longer have to miss school to haul water. The water problem is now solved. The wonderful virtues work being done at the school inspired individual facilitators to fund the parent costs of new toilet installation. One good deed leads to another.
Two parent groups have formed at Mwiyenga to learn and practice the Five Strategies of The Virtues Project and to participate in a Virtues and Community Development Project. We honour Madam Bibiana for the training of parents and teachers in virtues and skills building, including: the Five Strategies of The Virtues Project, table banking, poultry keeping and marketing. Parents are very grateful for the positive changes in their children's behavior, the learning that is occuring, and the outpouring of support for the school. Thanks to the virtuous parents who cooperated and offered unskilled labour during the construction and installation of the second tank and toilets. Thanks also to our virtuous pupils for their commitment, cooperation and helpfulness for working together with the teachers and the labourers and giving a hand when need arose. One good deed leads to another.
Use of the Five Strategies of The Virtues Project continues at Mwiyenga Primary School and word is spreading to other schools. Our lead teacher went to Kilimo Primary School to prepare them for The Virtues Project training by introducing them to the importance of Virtues both in our homes and our schools. The new school received the information with joy and enthusiasm! One good deed leads to another.
Thank you for your continued gifts of generosity and charity that allow VPIA to continue to fund The Virtues Project materials and training costs for parents, teachers and students; and participation in Virtues and Community Development related training opportunities. One good deed leads to another.
