Solomon Islands - Renovating a school for the hard of hearing
The Solomon Islands have experienced ethnic tension and civil war over the past few years, and this has caused a lot of suffering. A team of Australian Scouts helped with renovating a school, the only one in the country to accept students with hearing difficulties.
It is an important institution in the capital, Honiara and is managed by the Red Cross. The Scouts not only improved facilities such as the toilets and the kitchen, but also installed a network of flat-screen computers. Education for all is one of the key objectives the Scout Movement has assigned itself.
