Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all who donated to the Wanga Fund which raised a staggering £758 for resources.
Whilst in Kenya during October 2010 half term, we purchased a selection of paper, pencils, coloured pencils, blu-tack, rulers, rubbers etc. (see photo) but it became very obvious that the school was in need of textbooks and exercise books as well. We bought these locally with the money you have donated.
Our next project is fencing the whole school compound - check out the photos and you'll see why a fence is needed! Quotes for this work indicate that we need about £6000 to include a secure, strong fence plus lockable gate will be expensive. We have already raised some funds off-line. Any amount you can give will be very much appreciated - many thanks.
Latrines (toilets) have now been replaced and I will post some pictures as soon as I get them. Our thanks to all who contributed, particularly St James Place and COCO.
The school has been struggling to make purchases and upgrade the facilities as they had to repair a roof that had blown off in a storm but we were pleased to see that they have managed to improve their academic standards.
If you would like any further information about Development Direct, then please email to info@developmentdirect.org.uk . Once again - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
