Remodelling work in preparation for 2016

Submitted by admin on Thu, 12/03/2015 - 12:02

In late November, we started work on the remodelling programme in preparation for 2016. The main task is to completely remodel the lower classroom area so as create a raised wooden deck for the dance classes and connect that area to the middle classroom area with access isolated from the training workshop, which we use mainly for metal work and solar panel trainings. Other tasks scheduled for this year are to improve the facilities for the women's shelter and the pharmacy/dispensary and also to remake the middle classroom area into two smaller classrooms one of which will accommodate a library project for our secondary education classes. As work progresses we will post photographs accordingly. We are extremely grateful to everyone who has helped us make these improvements in particular to the the family of our friend Bob Barr whom we so greatly miss.
