School has been painted.
Here is the latest, from Amudurasi. We hope to see shutters installed very soon. The first parents meeting was held on Wednesday with very good attendance ... stay tuned for more!
How very exciting this project is. I recall from our work in Gabane, Botswana when we first built the Tshwaragano Craft Center (now Tsharagano Brigades Development Trust)in 1976 how exciting the construction phase of a vision in the making is. Having a building makes it real.
Many good wishes on the continuation of your childcare project, as you work towards all the things that must go inside the building to make it all come together.
