Sometimes up to 6 children are sharing one textbook – making it very difficult for them to read and follow the exercises. Karatu Education Fund hopes to help to create a more comfortable learning environment by buying textbooks directly from the publishers, making the ratio of children: books 2:1. KEF has been able to assist Tloma Primary School, Ganako Secondary School and the Karatu Ganako Library with the purchase of locally published school textbooks. Thank you to the Bellevue High School Leadership program for heading much of the initial textbook funding drive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a0edb559cc6819ca9ea9fe/1532441396609-0NHU2F2XSTK036FSDK1A/Ganako+Library Projects GANAKO LIBRARY PROJECT 2009-2020: KEF has assisted in the building of a new library at Ganako Secondary school in 2009. In continuation KEF has continued to support the library, providing text books, e tablets for internet learning and also sponsoring a librarian through library training school, and currently assists paying her salary at the library. This library is used for both the school and the community, making it the first community library in the Karatu district. The library was built using a sustainable building technique called CESB "compressed stabilized earth blocks". The building was entirely built by local workers, who were trained in the sustainable and earth friendly building techniques of compressed earth bricks by the French architect Satprem Maini from the Auroville Earth Institute and Alberto Navarro of the program Bricks for Life. For more information on this building technique, visit the site 'Bricks for Life'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a0edb559cc6819ca9ea9fe/1611572899831-A4XC7FG3HW2FAGBZYBCG/WhatsApp+Image+2021-01-22+at+4.50.42+AM.jpeg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58a0edb559cc6819ca9ea9fe/1611572931129-SLRW949EYF6ZDT7XOR3Q/WhatsApp+Image+2021-01-22+at+4.50.42+AM+%282%29.jpeg Projects - Kitchen Projects GyekrumLambu Kitchen Finished.
