Final update on Sarah's School


We are pleased to be able to tell you that at last Sarah's school and her new home are finished. Sarah and her family are so excited about spening Christmas in their new home. Thank you so much for making this happen.

Here is a picture of the new classroom. We came back from safari last week to find this huge blackboard had been fitted - isn't it fab! The benches and desks are also now completed and the floor has been painted a dark green colour. It looks amazing - pictures really don't do it justice. All of the children love their new room and are looking forwards to school starting properly in January.


As all of the work that we could actually help with is now finished we have spent a couple of afternoons working with the children to make displays for the walls. It's been great spending time with the children again and they've had so much fun cutting, sticking and painting!

Other work that has been completed includes the rest of the rooms in the house being painted and wire meshing put over all of the windows to increase security. A tap has been fitted and connected to the side of the house which means Malchiory no longer has to carry 40litres of water on the back of his bike each day. Sarah thinks she's in heaven. Even better than that, the water supply has also been connected to the toilet so that it now flushes - fantastic!

It has been fantastic to be part of this project over the last few weeks. Sarah and Melchiory are so proud of their new home and school. They have promised to keep us up to date with what is happening. It feels really good to know that our time here has been productive and we've actually been able to change someones life. Thanks again guys, without your support none of this would have been possible.
