The Headmaster of Tamba Kunda Lower Basic School in the Foni Bintang District of the Western Region, Mr. Nfamara Tamba, has decried the lack of water supply at his school since its inception in 1994. Mr. Tamba complained that the situation has seriously affected the learning process in his school where three hundred and ten pupils are enrolled. The Tamba Kunda Lower Basic School Headmaster further complained that his school depends on its water needs from a public tap that is located very far away from the school. He also noted that a water bucket is provided for each classroom but that the quantity of water a bucket can hold is not sufficient to keep the pupils at the school throughout a complete shift. Mr. Tamba pointed out that his house Jar is often used to supplement the water supply for his pupils during break time. While noting that the lack of water supply in a school can undoubtedly affect effective learning in a school, Mr. Tamba said he had previously sought for help from many organisations for the provision of water supply but without success. He therefore urged relevant organisations, philanthropists and individuals to provide his school with a water supply system. Mr. Tamba made these remarks in an interview with this reporter on Friday, 7 December, 2007. Source: Foroyaa Newspaper Burning Issues Issue No. 145/2007, 10 – 11 December 2007
