The Orphean classroom is ready for use although the walls still need plastering and the floor needs tiles (which we are trying to source in the UK).

The rainy season has now finished and work has started on the new Orphean Classroom. This is very needed as the school roll has now increased to 196. All credit to Bakary and his teachers who are making such a positive impact.

The well digging is progressing - it is deep but water has now been reached. Still more work required to complete but it's going well!

Work on the kitchen is progressing well and it is hoped that this will be complete by the end of the month.

Work has begun on re-digging a well approximately 30 metres from the school building. The old well could not be redug as it was considered unsafe.
