What a difference 3 months make! As I write this, doors and windows are being installed in the classroom which this group has helped us fund. Through its windows you can see Mt. Meru and tall avocado trees which line the border of the adjoining yams farm. A week from now, its walls will be filled with voices of twenty 6th graders, preparing to start what may be their last year of Primary School (we await the final ruling from the Ministry of Education on that account).
The initial plan called for breaking ground on a flat strip of land adjacent to the Nursery building. However, upon further evaluation, we have decided that it would be better to preserve the flat ground for future athletic facilities. Instead, we have moved to location up the hill from the first Primary School building. The classroom will become an anchor point for the third building on Ikirwa School campus. Over the coming 2 years we plan to add on another two classrooms and an office, which would allow us to convert one of the existing buildings into a dormitory.
On behalf of the teachers, staff and volunteers we would like to with you a Happy New Year and thank you for your unwavering support of the Ikirwa School Project. Since 2013 we have been building our little school, one classroom at a time, with the help of grassroots donors like you. Without you, these walls would not be standing.
