Over the course of the past two years, the teacher trainees in their practical period have been responsible for the education of approximately 15.000 children in 3 provinces. The trainees have initiated community activities relating to HIV, cholera, malaria, the environment, tree planting and water management amongst other things. They have also participated in the construction of 3 primary schools, 1 pre-school and 1 home for teachers. In 2008 much work has been done installing the new computer system and working with the digital curriculum.  Children from a great number of schools visited the Bird Watching Centre run by the school, learning about the ecosystem in the area as well as nature appreciation and environmental awareness. EPF Luanda took responsibility for involving 25 primary schools in a range of hand washing activities (lessons, songs, hand washing) on Global Hand Washing Day in October 2008. A water tower and desalination system have now been established at the school to ensure good, clean water.
