Back in Urukundo

Progress continues on construction of the new Secondary O Level School. The school will serve students in grades 7, 8, and 9.

Sept. 16

Ready for windows and doors

Oct. 23

Upper level windows and doors

Disappointment. Doors and windows are not visible on the lower level. Inquiring minds want to know why not. I received this explanation from the builder:

“Good morning, Mama It was the problem the industry of steel had but they are now making the doors and windows for lower classrooms.”

Volunteer Abigail and son Malakai said goodbye to Urukundo. They are returning to New Zealand.

Playmates came to Mama's House to bid farewell to Malakai.

Library changes

The  improvement is a lighter and brighter library.

I love it.

Borrowing and returning books now have their own space.

The Activity Center is educational and fun.

Builders

Tinker toys

Puzzle table

Hope and Imagination Theatre (HIT) was founded by Clyde Santana, a volunteer from the USA.  It is a use-your-imagination theater. 

Telling our story with puppets.

Waiting for our teacher Clyde to return.

Preparing an imaginary feast

Pretend cooking is good practice. Pots, pans, dishes, cups, saucers, and other items used in cooking and serving food. The kitchen just needs a pretend stove to be complete.

Learning about different foods and healthy eating is made interesting in our activity room.

A cradle for the little ones who need dressed, undressed, feeding, and loving care. Our dolls get the best in the activity of sharing love.

Feeding and clothing baby dolls is so much fun.

The center for playing with dolls is very popular.

Placing furniture in the doll house is creative and fun.

Sports day celebrated

During October, Urukundo Learning Center held a sports rally for both students and faculty. It was a success. Headmaster Viateur made this comment: “It was a special day for both students and teachers. Even the parents appreciated that activity, and everyone is proud of our school.”

Students enjoyed the day of sports. Teachers joined the children.

In Mama’s House, house manager Libby carried on a  tradition. My love of jigsaw puzzles is well known.

I share that love with my staff. Libby is very good and keeps puzzles in process while I am away. Looks like a good one. Thank you, Libby.
