After
the
success
of
the
2013
pilot
project,
GVI
was
invited
by
the
school
management
of
Dawasamu
Secondary
School
to
begin
a
full
time
education
project
there.
The
pilot
project
gave
an
idea
of
the
needs
of
the
school
and
the
ways
in
which
GVI
could
assist,
but
the
implementation
of
the
project
full
time
would
create
several
issues
that
would
need
to
be
dealt
with
to
get
the
project
up
and
running
effectively.
These
were:
Quickly
developing
a
strong
working
relationship
with
the
teachers
and
management
Efficiently
assessing
which
students
needed
one-on-one
support
and
setting
up
a
program
with
achievable
goals
Find
ways
to
enrich
the
education
experiences
of
the
students
With
these
three
core
objectives;
GVI
felt
that
it
could
successfully
begin
a
long
term
project
at
the
school.
Volunteers
and
staff
have
gone
to
considerable
lengths
to
engage
with
the
teachers
and
committee
members
to
make
them
aware
of
what
GVI
is
doing
at
the
school.
This
has
been
achieved
through
informal
conversations
between
staff
and
volunteers
(including
GVI
having
lunch
with
the
teachers
on
a
daily
basis)
and
more
formally
through
update
letters
written
by
project
staff
and
given
to
the
principal
and
school
manager.
To
get
the
one
on
one
program
up
and
running,

Volunteers

with
DSS
students
students
suspected
of
needing
extra
help
were
given
a
test
based
on
the
required
numeracy
and
literacy
abilities
of
students
as
they
leave
primary
school.
Those
that
were
not
able
to
complete
the
tests
or
required
additional
helpful
were
shortlisted
as
needing
one
on
one
assistance.
Then,
in
collaboration
with
the
teachers,
space
was
found
in
the
timetable
to
give
them
one-on-one
support.
Finally,
to
enrich
the
educational
experience
of
the
students,
GVI
set
about
designing
posters
for
their
classrooms
on
a
variety
of
topics,
repainting
all
the
school
blackboards
and
delivering
engaging
art
lessons
that
included
topics
such
as
the
water
cycle,
rainwater
harvesting
and
health
awareness.
GVI.2014.1
As
the
school
enters
the
ninth
week
of
the
school
term,
GVI
goals
for
the
year
are
on
course
to
be
met.
GVI
has:
initiated
a
one-on-one
program

health
issues
and
climate
change
initiated
the
construction
of
a
second
rain
water
tank
From
this
short
time
at
school
GVI
have
also
created
new
objectives
such
as
building
vegetable
gardens
for
each
form
and
repainting
the
school
library.
The
first
few
months
of
the
program
have
helped
to
define
GVIs
role
at
the
school
and
set
the
ground
work
for
a
program
that
will
greatly
impact
upon
the
lives
of
