Making a difference doesn’t have to be complicated. Or expensive. Or flashy. Today, doing the doable for teachers at Nakivale was something simple – a place to sit.
Somewhere to sit and gather as a team, or even just to rest, is so important anywhere you work. But at schools in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, they don’t have a space all to themselves – they don’t have a break room to take a load off every once in a while.
Most of the teachers are just looking for a simple chair.
This was a easy fix.
A plastic chair doesn’t exactly scream excitement. But the teachers here see things a bit differently.
A place to sit means a place to be comfortable, to grade papers, to sit together for meetings or spend time together as a team. They’re symbolic of something more – adding a missing piece of the puzzle that makes these teachers feel a little more whole.
