Last week, construction resumed on the boys'
bathrooms. Thanks to many of you and your
generous donations, we watched trucks with cement, rock and other building
materials arrive on campus. Since then,
workmen have been busy cementing the floor, framing out doorways and windows, and building an entrance wall to give privacy on the exposed hilltop.
Last week, construction also took place to link the school
building rooftop to the main rainwater tank on campus. The school's running
water is extremely unreliable and instead, students and staff (myself included) rely on the rainwater collected in the tanks for
daily chores such as washing, bathing and even drinking water. Two weeks ago the large tank went dry and the
school (200 or more pupils, as well as the staff) shared one small reserve tank
for bathing, cooking and washing.
Fortunately, the rains have since returned, and with the new piping
collecting additional rainwater, there should be fewer shortages in the future.
Below are some photos of the latest construction on
campus.
