Schools refurbishment
Of the 12 schools local to the Sara/Suri gas field
that are supported by Tullow in Pakistan, eight
underwent refurbishment during 2006. All works
were carried out by a local contractor and were
directly paid for by Tullow. Key activities included
the provision of water and sanitation facilities, and
undertaking structural repairs and improvements
to the buildings.
Education Alive
Education Alive is an organisation that has
been operating in South Africa for over 30 years,
supporting local schools in the various Townships
develop improved teaching methods and providing
teaching materials. Tullow’s Cape Town office has
supported Education Alive since 1999 and last year
ran a three-day workshop with Education Alive for
children of Tullow staff at the Cape Town office.
The workshop was attended by 16 children between
8 and 17 years of age, and was designed to improve
core subjects such as Maths and English. Feedback
from the parents of attendees has been very
positive, highlighting that students are now
more able to work on their own with a better
understanding of exactly what they are studying.
This workshop was so well received that Tullow
parents have requested we run another in 2007.
