In recent weeks we have presented the conditions of the Khelcom fish processing centre, characterized by old, obsolete and ruined structures and materials.
Following the renovation of the drains, the NutriAid staff worked to repalce the old fish processing tables made of makeshift materials such as tyres and branches.
NutriAid relied on the Maison de l'Outil of Joal in order to make the new work tables; the workshop hosts around 20 deaf-mute boys and girls of all ages who live in the town of Joal.
The Senegalese public school is unfortunately not inclusive, so the workshop promotes parallel training activities such as: sign language literacy, mathematics and carpentry.
The school and laboratory are located in the same spaces, owned by the carpenter who also provides his skills for free.
The boys and girls work with precision and under excellent guidance, which support them in the choice of materials and execution.
The students have made the claies de séchage, perforated tables with pvc grids and covers that will be used at the Khelcom centre so that the fish can be dried in the healthiest conditions, away from the ground and exposure to animals and the weather.
Sardinegal is financed by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers with the 8x1000 Irpef quota.
