Hey guys,
Just a quick update as have some exciting news I'd like to share with you all! After months of trying to work out what to do with the money people kindly donated to us; Connie and I finally came up with the idea of building a library and, after a few discussions with headmaster and a meeting with the district education officer, we have just found out it has been approved! So with a short 6 weeks left of placement, we are going to attempt to build a library so that the students actually have access to the books that, at the present, are shoved in corners of storerooms covered in dust! This entails: putting a ceiling on a room (inc. fans and lights), building shelves and fixing windows and the door (all of which we will employ and supervise a local 'fundi' to do) while we will take on the jobs of painting, decorating as well as sorting, cataloging , dusting and buying books! All of this while we are still teaching! So, needless to say, I expect to be fairly busy up until the end of placement...but am so excited (and a little anxious) to get started!
Anyway, will update you all a little later as to how it is getting on...but just wanted to share this exciting news with you! Hope you're all happy and healthy!
xx
