Project Report | Aug 4, 2017
Rwanda August 2017 Update

By Dennis Spencer | HANDS AROUND THE WORLD Link Volunteer

As mentioned in my last report, in November of this year there will be a small team of volunteers leaving the UK to continue the work at Muko School in Southern Rwanda. It is possible that once again one of the group will be a TEFL teacher, who will continue with the English teaching program that has proved so valuable in the past

The volunteers will be once again be working with a local labour force continuing to improve this ever-expanding school, which now has nearly 3000 students, two thirds of which can only attend on a half day basis due to lack of classrooms. The 1000 senior students that do attend full day classes are now able to enjoy a basic daily lunch due to the completion of the kitchen we were able to build and equip with donations received last year.

It has taken three years to build and complete the perimeter wall, which not only protects the School from getting damaged during out-of-school hours, it also prevents damage from flooding during heavy rain.

The priorities of the school this year are to build further toilets, install water tanks, and cement the floors of some classrooms with mud floors. All this along with general maintenance will cost in the region of £8000 and whilst our volunteers do their best to raise this money themselves any extra donations are always very welcome!

Our volunteers pay all their own expenses and work with a local labour force who may have no employment for the rest of the year; buying all materials locally is a boost for the local village economy.

If you have, in the past, made a donation to this very well worthy cause, I thank you. Don't give up on us now please, more is always needed!
