Solomon Muwanguzi is a Child Development student at ARU. Currently students are on holiday and required to complete a 10 week internship in their field of study before the next term begins. Solomon was placed at a local primary school to get some hands on experience with children.
Early on Solomon noticed that the children did not have a playground. During their breaks they just ran around in a field without any tools or sports equipment. So he asked the school for a bag of nails.
With a bag of nails in hand Solomon chopped down a few trees and build a playground from the ground up with the bag of nails, a few tree branches and whatever scraps of material he could find around the school.
I cannot tell you how exciting this is to see one of our students practicing stewardship with his time, talents and whatever material he had at his disposal. Solomon didn't focus on what the school didn't have... he looked at what the school needed and made it possible through what little he was given.
And do you see the results... look how excited those children are!
Way to go Solomon! It is such an encouragement to see you using the knowledge you have received to serve the children in our community!
