panels to 5 classrooms. They will seek
support for this from the MP and CDF.
Also from CDF they will seek guttering and water tanks for
the CDF funded classrooms
Forest project
The tree planting has gone well, second time round. The first pilot planting had only 60% success
rate but the most recent planting of over 400 trees in 3 blocks has gone
well. The rains have helped in this but
now the caretaker is in place it is expected that the school will be able to
keep the trees alive through the dry times.
ASDF (African Sand Dams Foundation) will visit the school on
10 March to assess the community’s contribution of sand, and stones. If they think there is sufficient then the
construction of the large tank can start straight away.
