Another site meeting this morning but once again we are disappointed at the rate of progress. We are 16 weeks behind schedule with a finish date now of 10th July for the class room blocks and I have to say I'm less than hopeful . For the staff house the contractor has been given until 31st July and it is unlikely that the house will be completed by then.
The site was visited recently by Kennedy Nkana, Statistics Officer for Mzimba North Education Division and he was delighted that such a development is taking place within his area. We hope to be able to take 20 girls form the surrounding area who have dropped out of school back in to the education system and this is welcomed by the education division.
Since our last visit 3 weeks ago the only difference is that the windows frames have now been set and the beam above is in place............
We recently donated a desk top computer to Engcongolweni Primary School and the head master and the staff are now putting this to good use. In the photo is Baxter Gondwe, head teacher at the school surrounded by Scottish flags!
While we were at the school we met with the students who want to join the drop-outs class and we met with the Engcongolweni Girl Guides.................
