Some very generous friends from
Ireland/Germany, who know me far too well J had
been expecting me to get in touch around funding for projects out here as soon
as I arrived, have generously donated €500!
There are many worthy projects at the
moment but one in particular takes priority. The Junior Secondary School run by
Safer Future has not been able to re-open after Christmas break as the plastic
make shift roof has been destroyed during the wet season and now will not
protect the children from the glaring African sun. The funds get allocated to
the rehabilitation of the Junior Secondary School and the principal is so
exited at the news he doesn’t want to want a week until the money arrives so
some of us volunteers chip in and give him the money that day so they can get
working straight away.
The next day the roof has been replaced
with much more stable Zink sheets and we have also been able to make doors for
the school so the kids don’t need to carry the furniture in and out every day
from the locked store room, which means that the furniture will also last
longer.
The rest of the money has gone towards
buying bricks to fix up the crumbling steps and edges of the building to make
it safer.
Big thanks to the Walsh family; your
generosity has made many a face smile this Monday as the school re-opens! A
special assembly was held to say thanks to you both, wish you could have been here!
