It's beginning to look like a school. The August newsletter should see construction completed.
After that, there needs to be equipment for the inside. So much yet to be done!
Moving into a new age. I am amazed at the advancement in construction in the Muhanga District. So much of the grunt labor is now being done by machines. First, a cement mixer, then safer scaffolding, and now a shovel for moving loose earth and leveling.
This was dirt removed by hand, shovels, and wheelbarrows when construction started in January 2025.
Looking ahead a bit
The new building will have six classrooms. Each classroom needs 18 desks and 36 chairs. There will be 36 students per room. One chair costs $22. One desk costs $76. The set for two students costs $120.
