100 temperature guns sent to Uganda to enable 100 schools to re-open

Feilden Foundation Trustee Mike Kironde (former client of ours and head of a group of schools in Kampala) talked at our trustees meeting about the problems of reopening schools during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Schools in Uganda, expected to open in September after a seven-month lockdown, were ordered to ensure Covid-19 safety measures were in place and standard operating procedures (SOPs) followed before reopening. These requirements include handwashing facilities, isolation rooms, availability of face masks and disinfectants. Many of the schools not able to reach these safety measures, and therefore not allowed to reopen, would result in numerous children unable to carry on their education for the foreseeable future.

One of the requirements given by the ministry of health to guide schools so they can reopen was for each school to have a well calibrated working temperature gun provided at each entrance, something too costly for the majority of schools to afford. The Feilden Foundation, keen to support the schools in the current crisis, sent 100 temperature guns to Uganda allowing 100 schools to re-open with the correct Covid-19 safety measures in place.

The ministry of Education of Uganda was so grateful to learn about the news of the donation through the Feilden Foundation, that they have pledged continued support to the same schools.

The government has allowed schools which have fulfilled the safety requirements to resume finalist and candidate classes for now, with no date announced yet for the return of other students.

 Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu rauhane chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục s3udy cách sắp xếp các mục và trình bày nội dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối Berlinintim, với mình như vậy là đủ để nắm   tin cơ bản rồi. q8yat

Behind every successful school re-opening there is a lot of technical research and this article highlights those efforts perfectly. The earning strategies for better health awareness are very useful for the entire community today. (Dmwin Register)
