2023 is a big year for us as we move boldly forward to build the permanent campus for the USAP Community School, just outside of Marondera, Zimbabwe. After the monthlong stipulated end of year holiday shut down for construction, we are now back in full swing with back hoes and tractors and lots of piles of bricks on site.
We have made significant progress with finishing laying out all of the buildings for our campus, which includes classrooms and labs, the dining hall, girls and boys residences and teachers' houses. The construction crew has begun brickwork and pouring of foundations for the central campus, as the work continues. We are still on track to begin 2024 with our next class on this permanent, intentionally-built and sustainable campus. Our fundraising continues intensively to keep us on track for building completion by the end of this year. Thank each and every one of you for your continued support which is leading us to this goal.
We recently welcomed our new class of 32 L6 students 2024 who began with a warm welcome from our new Head of School and the faculty. The 42 U6 students were very thrilled to return to school and embark on their yearlong capstone projects, re-engage in extracurricular activities, and pick up where they left off in their studies.
Our students are holding up their part of the bargain and remain determined and hard working. We have attached our recent excellent AS and A level exam results as one of their achievements for which we are very proud. We thank you for your contributions to the operations of our school.
Gratefully,
