A Much-Needed A level Science Lab.

Co-founder Richard Heery  is selling his recently published book Towards Infinite Horizons, both a memoir of his father and an account of a bike ride he did from Galway to the Black Sea. The book is for sale at a cost price of 15chf, £10 or 12 Euros  with the hope that buyers will donate extra , all of which goes to WATU’s much-needed A level Science Lab. Fund.

This science laboratory is the final piece in the very complex jigsaw which has been the creation of WATU Secondary. Josiah Mchome will direct all his efforts towards constructing this essential facility before school year 2021.  We have a cohort of excellent science students in year 9 at the moment (see newsletter) but they would have to leave Shiri for their final two years of schooling because to study Advanced Level Sciences they'll need extra facilities and we don't have those facilities yet.  Nonetheless, as you'll read in the Newsletter, lower school science is a great success at WATU Secondary. Even with the one lab, our students perform excellently in public examinations, one girl even achieving the distinction of coming fourth in the whole Kilimanjaro Region, out of more than 8000 students. So, imagine what might happen at A Level with these young people when the school has even better facilities. (Incidentally, one of the objectives of the Tanzanian government is to produce many more young scientists.)

Thank You . Asante Sana.
