Construction began on our two new classrooms in September thanks to generous donors and our partnership with Global Giving. It was our goal to begin construction on two new classrooms to serve the first and second grades in autumn 2018, and have them completed before the new school year commences this winter (February 2019). We are happy to report that construction is nearing completion, and right on time, as we just graduated 11 students who will be moving up after the school break!
We are still fundraising to complete finishes, such as the plaster work inside, as well and door and window sills. When the internal plaster work is completed, we will finish the paint and décor for these new classrooms to make them bright and engaging for younger learners. External projects that are still in progress include the rain water channel to divert flooding, and the sewage and waste water systems, but most are over 80% completed.
Our teachers, support staff, and students are thrilled to see Rukundo Preparatory school expand. This flagship programs serves the entire community through weekly Kids’ Sundays and a mushroom growing co-operative house on the school’s land. We are thankful for how far we have come and optimistic about growing our programs and expanding out reach in 2019 and beyond!
