World Vision Visit to AISL Gr9 Individuals & Societies Class

Gr9 MYP I&S students with our World Vision guests

Mr. Chow Worn's Grade 9 MYP Individuals & Societies students had the fantastic opportunity today to learn about the ways that the international n.g.o., World Vision, approaches development. Ms. Pamela Chama and Mr. Alfonsias Haamanjanji from World Vision shared many case studies of ways that the organization promotes development in five different sectors: economics, education, health, water & sanitation, and child protection. Students in the class have been studying poverty reduction initiatives as part of their current unit. Students posed many excellent questions related to sustainable development projects, the challenges of working in rural areas, and women's empowerment initiatives. We are very grateful to community members who share their expertise and demonstrate real-world applications of the content students are studying. Visits such as this one also help our students to gain a deeper appreciation of issues important to Zambia's development.
