Marigold school

Marigold School, Syedpur, Bangladesh is taking part in the Obamarama.

They are twinned with Prince Henry’s Grammar School, the hub school for the Obamarama.

Read "Obamaramas" from some Marigold students:

What would you tell Barack Obama is special about your school?

Marigold means bunch of flowers. Its Bengali name is ‘Gyyada ful’. It stands in the heart of Syedpur Town. We believe that if you break discrimination we make a better future together.

Where would you take him in your school or community? Why?

We would like to take Mr.Barack Obama to the school and community’s teaching field where we learn in a homely atmosphere.

What would you want him to change in your school or community? Why?

To reduce illiteracy rate in Bangladesh, to create international opportunity for neglected children, to promote girls education, to support IT Education for all students and to support our national effort towards basic education for all.

How did they do that?

Marigold School, Syedpur, Bangladesh, have a partnership with Prince Henry’s Grammar School, West Yorkshire.

Both schools are registered on the rafi.ki website, and joined some of the same projects. They worked on the ‘Understanding Islam’ project and were able to do a ‘hot seat’ where the students in both schools asked their questions via instant messaging.
