BIG UPDATE - we've reached 27% of our target. Thanks to all our donors and supporters, the fundraising for the Chizungu School project has surpassed Bev's and my expectations. Thank you so much. Please pass the word around your families and friends. Every little will help. £1 or US$1 goes a long way.
So here are a few photgraps of a recent art class "supervised" by our current volunteers taking place in the derelict farm house substituting classrooms!

A large number of the 200 children walk over 5 kilometres to be educated in an insecure, derelict farmhouse. Volunteers of Imire would like to fund the building of a new three classroom block so all the children are educated on the same premises and rejuvenate the existing 2 classrooms by securing the external windows, doors and storeroom allowing for the safe storage of educational material, reading scheme and equipment.

1 month agoI was told as a child that patience is a virtue! Well, its paying off. Progress.... Progress... Progress. Today we were able to deliver the four doors to Chizungu School to allow us to secure the entrances of the two existing classrooms. A builder has been contracted. The installation will be complete tomorrow. The Headmaster was so pleased. The windows are nearly all glazed. We were hit with some damp and cold weather for the past few days which has delayed the glazing, as putty will not set in the damp air.
