Having Fun with a Muppet, by Dr Greg Allgood, WVUS Children from the Chalimbana Primary School WASH club, in Chongwe ADP, Zambia, meet one of the newest Sesame Street Muppets called Raya. She’s a 6 year-old green girl that knows a lot about clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. What a coincidence that she was born on World Water Day! Raya is getting some help from her friend Elmo.

It includes two floor mats that include games to teach the proper behaviors. One mat uses a slide and ladder game, the other is like Twister, with places to step. Flip charts featuring Sesame characters are used to teach the children. It’s simple to use and an engaging teac

‘물’ 때문에

‘물’ 때문에 고통 받는 곳이라 하면 대부분 아프리카를 떠올린다. 물론 아프리카의 물 문제도 여전히 심각하지만 한국에서 불과 네 시간 남짓이면 닿는 필리핀 역시 물 때문에 괴로운 나라 중 하나이다. 필리핀은 절대적인 강수량이 부족한 아프리카 국가들에 비해 강우량은 풍부하나 계절에 따라 ... Read More...
