School Projects

I am about to post a picture of the new Kindergarten classroom that is under construction. It still needs a roof, which will cost about 600,000 TZ shillings at a current conversion rate of about $1: 1,300 TZ sh. They are also looking into building a fence, hiring a night guard, and setting up more programs to help the orphan children attending the school (of which there are about 120). The Sommers Park school in England is involved with a lot of these projects…..My understanding is that they are paying for a breakfast program for the orphans, are sponsoring some of their educations, and are interested in funding the new fence. While I am always surprised at how inexpensive some of these projects seem, it is humbling to remember that many families struggle to meet the school fees of less than $10 each year.
