Oleleshwa Primary School's second classroom exemplifies the care, effort, and precision of the crew. The workmanship is incredible - one can easily take for granted that this project has been completed by hand. James, forman, has worked closely with Malcolm, Charles I and Charles II (fundis) on this classroom. The labourers: Bernard, Makomi, Lornad, and James have learned many skills and gained valuable experience working on this project. Most of the men come from Ewaso Ngiro which proves that building a school can impact an entire community for years to come. James has repeatedly mentioned that the crew has been very happy throughout this build.
For now, the project is on hold while H4H raises additional funds for the ceiling, the paint, and the benches on the outside wall. We are also raising funds to build desks for the classroom. There is a possibility that students may use the classroom while awaiting its completion. The community group is meeting to decide. Text messages are shared daily so that H4H and Ewaso Ngiro remain connected and see this project through to completion. This delay is disappointing as the project was advancing so quickly, but we have no doubt that construction will resume quickly. Please stay posted for further updates.
Thank you everyone for your well wishes and generous contributions! We are all so anxious to see the classroom completed and joined with the first class by an incredible breezeway that will serve as an outdoor learning area, community gathering place, and as water storage through rainwater collection. Alec and Karl look forward to the day their design is complete and serves its many roles.
Asante Sana and pole pole,
Kyla
