Each year the CWA chooses a country to learn more about and invites students from Eurongilly and Nangus public schools to use it for their own curriculum.
Providing some valuable local knowledge at the international day this week were Canberra's Jane Holden and Roger Southward from Wagga.
Ms Holden spent 10 years growing up in Botswana while Mr Southward was an agricultural officer before being posted to Temora.
"Botswana remains one of the most stable countries in Africa," Ms Holden said.
Giving locals an insight into village life, she said four taps for water were installed because children were being taken by crocodiles when fetching water.
Eurongilly CWA international officer Fay Quine said the turnout at the hall was fantastic.
"It's just so good to see so many students and parents, it was a great success and everyone enjoyed it," she said.
"The quality of work on display is quite high, both schools had a poster from each student."
Mrs Quine said the group's country of study and international day played an important part in education.
"It teaches children about countries they wouldn't normally study at school," she said.
"They can compete against each other with their posters and of course they get a great lunch (on international day).
"And we all learned a lot about life in Botswana."
