A vibrant classroom at Oloosirkon Primary School
Legacy Projects at Oloosirkon Primary School The heart of the journey was spent at Oloosirkon Primary School which is a government sponsored institution home to 1,766 students. The collaboration between the Fairgreen International School students and their Kenyan peers was immediate and effortless. Beyond cultural exchange the groups worked side by side on two primary legacy projects. First, they sanded and primed a large water tank decorating it with vibrant murals based on watercolour workshops held earlier in the week. The second project involved the physical labour of laying foundations for a 5-acre farm. This included clearing the land, preparing the soil, forming raised nursery beds, planting onion seeds, watering, and mulching. These foundations laid by the Fairgreen students were key to the project, as the seedlings that grow will be transplanted into the main field, and the crops that are harvested will then be purchased by the Food4Education organisation in exchange for school meals. This creates a self-sustaining loop where the farm directly contributes to tackling food in security for students Oloosirkon.
