We had many improvements in the last year.
Communications
A big improvement was Wi-Fi was installed to cover the school, dental clinic and all of Urukundo Village. The village includes the business offices, farm office, pastor’s office, guest houses and Mama’s house
Protection
Lightning arrestors were installed on the school grounds, including the play area and the entire campus.
The football (soccer) field was filled and leveled, making it a safer play area for the school children.
Transportation
A second big school bus was purchased in January 2019. With earned income from the buses, we now have enough to purchase a third big bus. We have sold the minibus and are applying that money to the purchase of the third big bus. The minibus is too small for the number of children needing transportation at this time. It was a great starter bus, but it has outlived its purpose. Not enough seats.
Good looking bus. In service on January 29, 2020.
It is good to know the profit from the vehicles improves our ability to supply safe transportation for more children.
Sewing Center
Twenty-four sewing machines were purchased and added to the Urukundo Sewing Center.
A classroom large enough for the Sewing Center was built and desk-chair combinations were purchased for student use.
Library
A new extension was added to the school library.
The library now has space, tables, chairs and electrical outlets for computer classes and can accommodate older children and adults.
Yes, it was a very good year.
