'Fruit of the Loo'. "When You Educate A Girl, You Educate A Community"

Nominated for the UNICEF Student Digital Story Telling Award, 2010: http://www.digitalmedia.ie
Educate a girl and you educate a Community.
Over the summer of 2009, 50 volunteers from Ireland built a new toilet-block for St Matthews school, Makhoba in South Africa's Eastern Cape. This will allow puberty-age girls to remain in education during their period.
Sanitation is an essential part of education and education saves lives in South Africa.
