Last Friday, a representative from the Marist Brothers Primary School Mulivai in Samoa, Ms Otilia Pesamino, paid a visit to the Marist Solidarity team in Brisbane.
Ms Pesamino was in Brisbane as part of the Marists’ Animators of the Pacific course.
Principal of the Mulivai school, Brother Chris Maney, said that Ms Pesamino was “excited and enthusiastic” when she returned to school this week.
He said she was impressed how Marist Solidarity was working with Australian communities to find ways to help the school at Mulivai remediate serious problems with the school’s drinking water.
Currently, the school’s ten drinking fountains waste a lot of water and the area around the fountains has become very unhygienic. The school needs our support to provide clean, safe drinking water for its 629 students.
It hopes to purchase three water tanks that will be installed at various locations around the school and this will help reduce the school’s ongoing costs.
