Money that we previously donated to specific schools is now having an impact. This first picture shows building work that is taking place at Nakore Primary School.
This building will enable the Kindergarten class to be taught in a room, rather than under the mango tree as they are presently. The picture below shows the kindergarten class where they are currently taught. The lack of a building means that they are unable to attend school for most of the rainy season.
Nakore is a lovely village just south west of Wa. It is the place to which we made one of our very first excursions on our bicycles when we first arrived in Wa. The blog entries of 24th October 2009 and 6 March 2010 give more details about Nakore.
A big thank you to all who have contributed to our fund. We now have another £2,000 to distribute thanks to the generosity of our family and friends this Christmas. As soon as Ruby returns from her trip to the Philippines, we will arrange the transfer of the money and get an update on what is happening on the ground. This donation will contribute to the building of boreholes in isolated villages.
This term we will be delivering assemblies in a school and giving a talk to a local Rotary Club, in order to promote the work of VSO and, hopefully, to raise additional funds.
