Thanks to the donations via Global Giving, we were able to save our environmental education program in 3 of the 15 schools around Taï National Park. The Club P.A.N. program started now in Ziriglo, Sakré and Gouléako, all villages in the east of the Park.
Furthermore, the program started in Guinea, in the schools of Kela, Koune, Kollet and Kalinko, all in the important Foutah Djallon Bafing Region, where still a lot of wild chimpanzees live.
In Côte d’Ivoire we have 162 children participating and 494 in Guinea. We wish all these children a lot of fun during the 12 sessions in the outdoor nature class rooms and hope they learn a lot about nature and wildlife.
Hilaire Guilahoux and Ouattara Dabila from the “Cellule des Projets Environnementaux, Soubré”, are the coordinators of the nature clubs in Côte d’Ivoire and Moussa Kaba is our coordinator in Guinea.
The teachers during the school year 2015/2016 are Soro Sandona Yacouba (Ziriglo), Nzian Kouassi (Gouléako) and Gnonkonte Modeste (Sakré) in Côte d’Ivoire.
We would like to thank this great team!
Please consider helping us to include more schools into the 2015/2016 school year, 12 more schools are waiting to start the nature clubs. We still have time till January 2016 to start the program during this school year; otherwise it is too late for this year! Thank you!
