Life was beautiful, we all looked forward to a more pleasant and great year, and things took a different turn in my community as schools were shunt down because of the increased number of covid-19, after our first index case in the month of Feburary.

Teachers have been know for their strength and how wonderful they undertake their task of building the next generation of learders.

due to the covid-19, 90 percent of teachers in my community and country where struk with hunger and depression, a number of teachers working in the private educational sectors took to social media to source for help and beg for survival.

this got to me and i though of how i can help, coming across this challenege has strengthen my desire and beileve that i can be a part of the positive change in my community by providing business funded palliatives to ten private school teachers in my community.

this would not only reduce hunger for them, but would also improve the lives of their family members (parents and children).&nbsp;
my project is aimed at directly impacting 10 teachers who would be indrectly impacting over 30 family mebers and indirectly impact the economic situation of my community, as these teachers would be involved in bussiness which would help solve immediate problems in theire society, thus leading to improved economic situation for the teachers and their communities.

The teachers would set up the following business;

1. Production and sales of nose mask 9this would help prevent the continous spread of covid-19).
2. Production of soap and hand sanitizers which is needed by everyone in the present times.

By doing these business they would be able to quickly make a turn over and also improve life in their host communities.&nbsp;

Private School Teachers Solution

Executive Summary.

Support for the Elderly is a school child initiated and led project which seeks for 458 USD equivalent to 1,600,000 UGX to construct a semi-permanent and semi-permanent pit latrine for Mzee Joseph and his wife Mariam in Nabutaka Village, Butuntumula sub county luwero district. Children inspired by the leadership sessions from their Teach for Uganda Fellows zeroed on Mzee Joseph as the most deserving elder in their community and as such they want to ease his old age by providing these key structures, comfort and make him socially included and taken care of.

Introduction

Teach for Uganda is a registered non-government educational leadership organization located at block244, plot 5151 Kyadondo Majidu Musisi close in Muyenga, Kampala P.O Box 21372, Kampala. Teach for Uganda recruits and trains high achieving graduates from recognized universities in Uganda and places them in the neediest rural primary schools in Uganda. The fellows spend two years offering leadership through teaching and community mobilization to causes. At the end of these two years we research the most pressing need in the community and make a contribution toward solving it.

It’s upon this background that our children at St. Kizito Nabutaka have come up with this initiative to address two of the problems affecting an elderly couple with the objectives of:
•	Creating awareness of the suffering of the elderly people.
•	Instilling the spirit of leadership in learners within the community and elsewhere in the country.
•	Demonstrating student leadership through service, responsibility, exemplariness, empathy and love for all humanity emphasizing social inclusion.&nbsp;
•	Constructing a semi-permanent kitchen and semi-permanent Latrine for Mzee (Elder) Joseph Byekwaso.&nbsp;
•	Motivating all other stakeholders to come on board.
Our mission is to demonstrate that teaching as leadership is the most viable means of transforming our country.

Background

St Kizito Nabutaka primary school is catholic founded. It was started in the 1960s. It’s located in Nabutaka village, Kyawangabi parish, Butuntumula sub-county in Luwero district in the central region of Uganda which also happens to be the historical Luwero triangle where the revolutionary activities which ushered in the current regime started from.
As a result of these activities, many people lost their lives, families scattered, fled, diseases chipped in and development was stunted. In spite of these challenges, the government through the Luweero affairs ministry has embarked on a rigorous program of reconstructing the region by bringing services nearer to the people among which is education.
However, in respect to history, poverty, lack of basic services such as water, Electricity, quality education and social inclusion especially of the elders still affect this village.

It’s for this reason that Teach for Uganda is on board in a partnership with the government to help complement its efforts to offer quality educational service. This is being done through creating a movement of teacher leaders to expand educational opportunities in academic and nonacademic areas by equipping learners with a positive mindset, lifelong skills to address their community challenges and enthuse the children to keep in school and study.

The present situation

While in one of our leadership sessions, we expose learners to great leaders and change makers as a way of inspiring and learning from them. Hillary and I asked them to mention some of the problems they have in the community which they can solve given the leadership skills they had learned. It was around October 2019 and the rains were pouring heavily… the learners said that they had conducted a research earlier on during the teaching leadership of our predecessors, Decimon Wandera and Bernard Kyobe who had also taken them through the leadership skills and had identified Mzee (Elder Joseph aged 88) worthy their support. The learners said that Mzee Joseph Byekwaso and his wife (Nakiyingi Mariam aged 67) were not socially catered for and therefore excluded.

The couple lacks a kitchen and a pit Latrine. According to Learners, they feel that this couple is at risk because they sometimes sleep hungry during the rainy season due to lack of a secure place to cook from and also at risk of contracting cholera, dysentery or even die due to poor and open pit latrine which sometimes floods during massive downpours. After the learners’ deliberation, we made an effort to ascertain the situation and indeed, we found out that the couple was not only elderly, excluded and challenged by the issues mentioned but also was taking care of two grandchildren who are juveniles.

In respect of the above, this project intends to construct a small sized semi-permanent Kitchen and a semi-permanent pit latrine to help these couples live a better life in their old age with their two grandchildren. The grandchildren are our learner's at St KIZITO primary school- Nabutaka. This project will address the social exclusion of the elderly and also give an experience to our learners to develop their leadership more, to serve these communities and respect the categories which suffer exclusion in their communities.

Beneficiaries

a) Direct beneficiaries
•	Mzee Joseph and his wife Mariam.
•	Input suppliers of construction materials.
•	The learners’ leadership skills, mobilization, collaboration, communication, teamwork and confidence will be boosted through this experience.
•	All our partners and supporters through their generosity expand leadership opportunities and the mindset of the young generation to take a lead in always creatively solving their own community challenges so as to make the world more human-thus changing life.
b) Indirect beneficiaries
•	Mzee Joseph’s extended family.
•	Suppliers family members&nbsp;
•	The elderly people in the communities around will feel recognized and hopeful that they can be supported any time.

Project strategy

The project will be located and implemented within Nabutaka village under the leadership of the learners, supervision of Mr. Hillary and I and monitored by Teach for Uganda. We will guide the learner's like we have always done to strictly observe the Ministry of Health Standard operating procedures against the spread of Covid19 and also maintain safety of learners as we support builders to construct the kitchen and Latrine. We strongly believe that after implementing his project, similar or related community challenges will also be tackled collectively by learner's in their communities.

Expected outcomes

•	Identified elders and their two grandchildren will now have a kitchen and Latrine and this will increase the quality of their life.
•	Beneficiaries will feel socially included thereby reducing psycho-social problems in their lives and in the community.
•	Learner's will be able to acquire more lifelong leadership skills to enhance their future leadership and be motivated to address similar challenges affecting their communities.
•	Awareness of the need to support the elderly will be created.

Management of the project

<ul>
<li>The children’s leadership in the company of Hillary or I, will purchase the necessary construction materials like iron sheets, Nails, as one way of building transparency, accountability and honesty among the learners and also to reinforce their numeracy skills in budgeting and planning.</li>
<li>The children, Hillary and I will mobilize the community to support the project by voluntarily offering materials for construction at a cheap price or at free cost.</li>
<li>Ensure that a kitchen and a latrine are constructed within the stipulated time and of good standard.</li>
</ul>

Support for elderly!

What Shukria Thinks?
Shukria is a 16 years old student of Pohand Sediqullah Rekhtin High School. She is currently studying in 10th grade. Shukria is considered as one of the bright students of the school who is currently leading a group (including 6 girls) through which they voluntarily serve their school in some social situations.&nbsp;

Shukria said “I am the topper of my class but sometimes when I reorganize a problem in our school then it grabs my attention from my studies and it takes me to think about how to solve the problem.&nbsp;

Currently one the very serious problem I recognized is not having a proper nursery class for children. Most of our teachers bring their kids to school and they just carry them to every class they are entering and teaching.&nbsp;

It has two negative impacts; first, we (the students in class) get disturbed by the kid and second, the kid is not having a proper place to go an spend her/his day happily. So I as a student want to work on the nursery class for these kids. A class that has all the basic materials for kids. Which includes:&nbsp;
•	Classroom painting&nbsp;
•	Some colorful stickers for walls
•	Cottons
•	Cooler and Heater system&nbsp;
•	Carpet
•	Cradles&nbsp;
•	Some Games&nbsp;
•	Basic Food&nbsp;
•	Some playing materials&nbsp;

Hi everyone! I am from Oman. My dreams for my future are. First of all I want to complete my education, to graduate from college and to make my family proud of me! My second dream is to travel around the world. My third dream is to make a family and to watch my children grow up. What are your dreams and what do you need to do to make them come true in the future?

My dreams for my future

Hello! I am from Oman. My goal is to become a doctor. I want to have my own clinic. I want to wear my white robe as an angel of mercy :) I want to make free medical days for orphans and people in need. And what is your goal in life?

Happiness is something which we can't describe in words it can only be felt from someone's expression of a smile. First of all, my family makes me feel happy. My family is a safe harbor where I can be myself . The next thing that makes me happy is drawing/painting. It empowers me with confidence.It reminds me that I am in control of my life, my thoughts, avnd my feelings.
Lastly, playing with my pet makes me so happy as interacting with animals helps lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety , and decrease depression. Money is unlikely to buy happiness, but it may help you achieve happiness to an extent. Look for purchases that will help you feel fulfilled. And beyond that, you can find happiness through other nonfinancial means, like spending time with people you enjoy or thinking about the good things in your life.

What makes me happy ? 

-In this video I explain how my happy moments were in 2020
Thanks for watching!

What make me happy?

I think that kindness in people really makes me and all the people around happy. All you need to be happy is just to smile and be kind to others,
Happiness is difficult and different for everyone, but i dont think that money can buy true happiness. In my opinion, money can give a happy moment for a short time, but then everything will pass.

Happiness for me.

Happiness is something that makes you feel life as well experience it but at the same time if your priorities are pure ... the journey towards happiness is easy. for those who think that “Money can buy happiness ?” the Answer is “No” money will never be able to buy happiness, my power point is the more money you have you are gonna lust for more .. so try to find happiness around yourself, think about those people who don’t have roof above their head as well nothing to eat whole day. • Time awaits no one be two steps ahead of it • my motto for living this thrilling moreover chilling life so far...

The result of the production of garbage during one day of my life is much less than in a developed country. My total garbage consumption was 225gr..
The world needs everyone to live in a better place and free of contamination!

ECO Impact Challenge

Hello! My name is Timothy. I live in Mozhaisk, Russia. I want to show you how much garbage a family of 3 people made in 24 hours. We live in our house, so we can throw away organic waste in the compost hole for further use on the farm. 

In 24 hours, I collected 1.8 kg of inorganic garbage and 1.2 kg of organic garbage. Total 3 kg of garbage.

I believe that in order to reduce the amount of garbage you should try to buy less plastic. Unfortunately in our country, separate waste recycling is not as popular as in other developed countries, but I believe that this will change in the future.


My eco challenge. 

In this video I show the amount of garbage you collect in one day, also the approximate amount in one week and one year.
I think that generating a lot of garbage and not recycling is bad, since we damaged our planet and in doing so we could no longer change the costing.
Weight of the original garbage bag with pre-classification: 280 g
Packaging weight: Compostable container: 200 g
Non-compostable container: 80 g
Paper: 40 g
Plastics: 40 g.
Daily total: 280 g
Weekly total: 1.96 kg
Annual total: 101.92 kg

For me, friendship is the highest degree of selfless empathy. This is trust, mutual understanding, mutual assistance, equality.

my turn

What is friendship for me? Everytime i think about my friends a smile appears on my face. Friendship is something really important to me because friend is someone who will help you every time you feel sad or tired. They are always on my side or if i need a support they are ready to help. Last year i had a very bad event happening to me so my friends played with me almost every day after school and im forever grateful for them. True friends forever!

Friendship

I think you need to be able to make friends, this is a whole art

Friendship and trust are not bought or sold.

I hope u would like it. By Eman Rasheed, From Pakistan&nbsp;

Happy New Year to All! Hope 2021 turns out to be Great for All. My name is Prajjol Chakraborty. I am a student of Class-2 from Birla High School Mukundapur, Kolkata, India. In my country we celebrate worshipping Goddess Saraswati on the 5th day of the Bengali month of Magh (mid January to mid February). This religious festival marks the end of Winter and welcoming Spring season.

Winter Festivals in India.

Christmas celebrations start on December 5, St. Mikulas Day. According to a tradition similar in many other countries, children on this day clean their shoes and put them on the windowsill in order to find a gift in them. Saint Mikulas, as is commonly believed, comes accompanied by an angel and a devil, together with whom he decides how well the child behaved. In the worst case, instead of a pleasant gift, the child will find in his shoes a handful of coal planted by the servant of Lucifer.

The origin of the holiday is ancient Iranian, associated with the cult of the Sun and the name of the legendary prophet Zarathushtra.
Unlike the European New Year, Navruz is traditionally celebrated in the afternoon, but also always in the family circle. The most important day of the holiday is the first, March 21st. In the next thirteen days in Uzbekistan, they go to visit, visit relatives, buy and plant seedlings of young fruit trees, meet with cheerful companies in the bosom of spring nature.
In Uzbekistan, they believe that the deeds done by a person during the 13 days of Navruz will be done by him throughout the year. Therefore, it is customary not to consult with anyone these days, to forgive each other's debts, to live in peace with everyone.

On the day of the vernal equinox on March 21, Uzbekistan celebrates another New Year - Navruz

Today is January 5 in Spain, the Day of the Three Kings is the most favorite children's holiday in Spain. Kings are like the wise men who brought gifts to Jesus when he was born - gold, myrrh and incense. 3 Kings are 3 races: Melchor - the white king of European origin, Gaspar - adorned with red curls - Asian and a young black - Balthazar. On this day, a huge festive procession takes place and sweets are thrown everywhere and gifts are given to children)

Philippines

The first time in the European style is on January 1, and the second on March 21. Both of these days are days off.

New Year's Day on January 1 in Uzbekistan is more of a secular holiday. As in the rest of the world, Uzbekistan has its own Santa Claus - they call him Korbobo and their own Snow Maiden - they call her Korkiz. Instead of deer - Donkey. True, one can rarely see Corbobo on a donkey on the streets of Uzbekistan.

Popular festivities are held on the main square: jokes, dances of different nations, masks, Christmas trees and gifts are sold.

In Uzbekistan, it is customary to serve a large number of fruits for the New Year. In addition to traditional national dishes, there must certainly be a watermelon. If it is ripe and sweet, then the New Year will be happy.

Many in Uzbekistan, while the clock is counting down the onset of the new year, are trying to have time to eat 12 grapes. Whoever performs this ritual believes that the wish made will certainly come true.

According to another happy omen, all the old, cracked ceramic plates should be broken before the New Year, then nothing bad from the old year will be repeated in the coming one.
