On Tuesday, December 18th we finally opened the first phase of our school - the first four classrooms and the loos! Kit bags of resources were carried in by truck - the 40km journey from the nearest main town. The UK flag was raised above the heads of 212 pupils wearing their smart new red and black uniforms. 

We now have six teachers appointed to the school! The school will officially open on Thursday November 7th 2019.

Fantastic progress, despite the rainy season! The building construction for phase one is largely done now and we are at the stage of plastering, painting, putting in doors and windows.

Progress with the school building (phase 1) has slowed slightly due to a contractor issue but we are moving forward again. We still hope to have four new classrooms up and running by the beginning of October which is when Ethiopian school starts a new school year.
