Urukundo has dealt with many challenges since its founding in 2006. Needless to say, 2020 is the most challenging yet. The major 2020 challenges are sustaining our employees with wages during the shutdown caused by the virus and the new requirements put in place by the Ministry of Education to reopen our school safely. Required are 15 wash stations between classrooms, head thermometers and a quarantine room for isolation should it be needed.
Another challenge is making these mountainous school walkways to classrooms handicap accessible. As I indicated last month, we are doing our best to make that happen. Photos show the work being done.
The long path from the library, with the steps gone, to the primary level classrooms below, makes even walking more comfortable.
There were many steps from the porch to the ground level, and the steps are no more.
There are no more steps from the school office downhill to the teacher resource area.
Our workers appreciate the new walkways. Easier to keep clean.
The slant makes sure rainwater moves away from the building and is not a problem. Dealing with torrential rainstorms and excess water damage are also on the list of challenges we have met and continue to handle.
