Construction Under Way for our 5th School Building

By Carol Davis | President

Block 5 walls Feb 26 - nursery students playing

We're very excited that construction on our 5th classroom block at the Agwata school began in mid-February and has been progressing quite rapidly. The school parents' were prompt in their provision of the raw materials needed (sand, gravel, bricks). This has enabled construction to proceed smoothly with little interruption. I personally was on site in Agwata during the last half of February and in early March and got to witness the building taking shape. When I left in early March, the timbers for the roof were being put in place.

I'm including several photos that I took of the construction progress when I was there. We have also been able to raise some funds from other sources and so have adjusted the amount of remaining funds needed to complete this project. Even so, it means we still need to raise $1100 of additional funds within the next four to six weeks to complete the building. The installation of the doors and windows, and the final interior finish work including the veranda outside will be time consuming. Completion is still expected before the 2nd term of the school year begins on the 22nd of May.

Our teachers in the youngest nursery class are very excited to have an actual classroom for their almost 80 three year old students! Likewise, the kindergarten teacher is excited about being able to move her children out of the school's tiny storage shed building (which is still an improvement over the mud and thatch class building) next term.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to this wonderful project so far. If you have friends or family who might want to help us with reaching our final donation goal, please share this letter with them too!
