Poem Bwindi Junior School

Hello our USA friends and directors of BUCC.
Thank you for recognizing our need for clean and safe water and thank you for supporting it.

We didn’t know we have such Christian people like you who care about us but now we have known it.

Please know we have a deep feeling about your generous act. We really appreciate you, you are special.
God bless you!

Oh! How did you get to know that we didn’t have enough clean water to drink at school and we would spend some days without drinking water.
How did you get to know that we would travel long distances to fetch water from unclean streams. Did you know we used to stay thirsty due to fear of taking unclean water?

Did you know that because of the water from the running river, our fellow children would get sick too often?

At school we would be limited on the number of liters of water to use for a day and because of such, some of us would go to bed without bathing, sometimes we would not wash our clothes or bed sheets regularly.

Dear BUCC friends and directors, you are a blessing to us. Thank you for your kindness; thank you for giving us water at school. We shall never forget you. We now have clean water. At every corner of the school you find clean water.

We no longer carry jerricans and buckets of water on our backs and heads travelling miles.

Now we have access to safe readily available water at school.
Our water is so clean and it tastes so much better now.
Water related sicknesses are no more. Going to bed without bathing because of lack of water is no longer an excuse. Hygiene and sanitation at school is it’s best than ever before.
We are now safe and all of us here at Bwindi Junior are committed to the care of our borehole project, while focusing on our education, with clean safe water, we are sure, we shall perform better in class than ever before.

God bless you all.
We remain yours,
Primary five class members of Bwindi Junior School.
