PCDC coordinator visit in Kogere

From 11.02. to 03.03. Mr. Piotr Tyszko-Chmielowiec, the coordinator of PCDC program (FED), is visiting Kenya and Western Sudan. He is heading places where their projects implemented Simba Friends Foundation and Democracy and Development in Sudan Foundation.

On February 13th Sega village witnessed festive inauguration of a newly-finished school. The great day of this post and the whole local community was even greater thanks to the presence, apart from Mr. Tyszko-Chmielowiec, of Deputy Head of Polish Mission in Nairobi, Mr. Przemysław Niesiołowski and Mrs. Barbara Jasińska, the ambassador’s spouse, and also the representatives of local and regional authorities.

The festivity was opened with the assembly around the school parade. The representatives of the Foundation and the school head teacher, Stephen Mbanda welcomed the guests, showed them around, presenting the results of last months work. Then the guests gave their speeches – local administration and education officers, PCDC program coordinator, representatives of Polish and Canadian Embassies.

After the official part numerous guests were given opportunity to watch performances of Kogere pupils and local music, theatre and sport groups. The last part was the treat. The visit of PCDC coordinator was connected with the final closing and evaluating the projects financed by this program in 2006. We hope that Kogere Primary School will be a good showcase for Simba Friends Foundation and for the Polish development assistance as well.
