The PENS4KIDS project this time reached the local school of Agni-Agni, where the ceremony for the distribution of the pens happened on Tuesday May 26th 2009.
The inspector for primary education, all teachers of that school, the COGES Committee, parents and, above all, children were attending this celebration in the school playground.

The CISV Agnibilekrou delegation led by Mr. Kocou Libera was applauded and the President of the Committee expressed his joy in face of the whole audience.
Naon Katiohora, President of CISV and main contact of our foundation, explained the meaning of this project as beginning of a future cooperation with SIVA4KIDS.

After his speech, Mr. Libera Kocou officially handed the pens to the Inspector for Agnibilekrou, who afterwards distributed those to the students.
The children were very happy to receive these pens and thankful to all contributors.

The parents who joined this ceremony thanked CISV and reasserted their wish to have a safer school for their children. The Agni-Agni school has no protection fences, no restrooms and no clean water.

Also, the Inspector has expressed his concern for the current status of the school and the need to act fast to improve the structure of the building and the related infrastructures.

Students were invited to double their efforts to have a good academic end of the year and attract support for their school.

The international partners of CISV (like our foundation) will consider this project to give this school a new look and make a safer place for the children.
