“For my senior project, I repainted a small preschool in a Lahu village. My project assisted the preschool teacher by repairing the preschool building. I had ten 8th grade volunteers along with a couple of adult volunteers helping me with first painting the entire preschool with a base coat then with a top coat. The goal of my project was to improve the learning environment of the preschoolers in the village. This project was important to me because I value education and personally it is very important to me to have a good learning environment in order for me to focus and learn well.” — Annika, Gr 12
