Build Two School Classrooms for Youngest Students

We're quite excited. In our first thirty days of fund-raising for our next school classroom building, we've raised almost $5,300 towards our goal of $7500.  Besides that, the Agwata community has been mobilizing to help us with some earthen bricks and also sand and small stones which are needed for the project.  December to February are the prime months for the community to provide help.  They have some time now between harvest this year's crops and March when they will begin preparations for next year's plantings.

The Ugandan school year begins on February 6 this year.  We are still hopeful that the foundation for our next building will be completed before school begins and that significant work can continue during February. Our current $5300 in funds will allow us to begin the building process provided the community has gathered the needed bricks, sand and stones.  However, we still need to raise the remaining funds as soon as possible so that building will not stop after the roofing phase but can continue with installation of windows and doors, cement floors and final finishing of the interior and exterior walls.

We are earnestly pursuing securing the additional funding needed and would appreciate any referrals you also may have to help us see this project to completion as soon as possible.  The next rainy season begins in mid-April and we hope our newest building can have its roof overhead by that time.

Thank you so much for your support of this project.  The entire community and especially the teachers and 100 students who will be using this new building once completed are looking forward to seeing the building process soon beginning. The students are looking forward to doing their writing and lessons on actual tables and desks instead of in their laps or on the dirt floor.
