Infrastructure. There
are now 5 classrooms - 4 built by TAS
and one nearly completed by the CDF.
The TAS buildings have gutters but these do not always
connect to the tanks! The CDF building
has no gutters. The school has agreed to
sort out the existing gutters – hopefully in time for the rain. A new tank is required and the CDF will be
approached to put gutters on their classroom.
Some of the window latches on the new buildings have broken
already.
The fence is in good order but there is a problem with
rabbits burrowing under the wire and eating the new seedlings. The school will purchase chicken wire and put
it around the bottom of the fence.
New projects:
TAS has funding for a groundsman to look after the trees and do repair jobs around
the school compound. A person has been
identified.
It was agreed that the school will convene a meeting on 26
October when Stephen Kameti will return to meet the candidate. He will be paid 5000k per month. The school will open a new bank account into
which TAS will pay the salary on a half yearly basis.
The school PTA will bring water for the trees and will
monitor performance. LL will draft a job
description.
It was emphasised that the Kaseluni Forest Project is of
great significance as it is being viewed as a model for rolling out to other
schools.
(Post meeting note)
The womens rep for Kitui has arranged for a new tank to delivered and
the job description has been drafted.
