Construction
Begins on Slotland.com's Malawi School Project
Ground has been broken at the
school Slotland.com's "New Chance for a
New Generation" project has given to an
impoverished African village. Provided the rains
don't delay construction, the school will begin
providing a better outlook for the children
of Juma, Malawi early next year.
"Our
players know what a big role luck plays in their
lives," said Hannah Morante of Slotland.com
(www.Slotland.com). "Those that live in
areas where we can enjoy the luxury of online
entertainment should remember just how lucky
we are. We feel good about sharing our prosperity
with those less fortunate, and everyone that
plays at Slotland.com can share in that good
feeling."
The
school foundation was recently dug out by a
local football team in exchange for one football
and set of twelve football kits in the colors
of Manchester United. As the rainy season is
starting and prices will rise, the local organizers
hurried to buy all the needed building materials
such as gravel, sand, cement, planks and iron
sheets, as well as building tools with the initial
funding provided by Slotland.com.
The
impoverished village of Juma is near Blantyre
City, the industrial capital of Malawi. The
region is of little interest to both government
and non-governmental organizations. Local people
rely on growing maize and other vegetables,
or occasion piecework if they can find it. Without
this help from the western world, the future
looked bleak for its children.
The
"New chance for a new generation"
project obtained support from local traditional
authorities – both the village headman
and the group village headman -- who gave the
project a vast piece of land for building a
preschool and for growing enough maize and vegetables
for the school kitchen.
"An
important part of our project is the extension
officer, a local secondary-school teacher,"
explains Project Coordinator, Tereza Mirovicova.
"Thanks to his knowledge of the local environment
and people, we've been able to identify and
employ experienced and reliable builders."
Thanks
to the hard work of local workers and organizers,
and the generosity of Slotland.com, there is
new hope in the New Year for the children of
a struggling African village.
