Map of SIERRA LEONE
With the completion of the teachers' quarters and successful recruitment of seven qualified teachers from major cities - four with degrees - the school and community have taken a huge step forward in improving education for their own children and hopefully generations of children to come. The secondary school will be starting its senior secondary classes (high school) this year.
The school and community have decided that the next step for education is the rehabilitation of the only library in the whole chiefdom, currently a dilapidated building on the secondary school campus. Opposite this building is a tom down agricultural building that was once used by the school's agricultural department for holding tools, seeds, and other materials. The aim of this project to rehabilitate these two buildings concurrently and remove the only remaining signs of war from the school campus. This will also have an uplifting emotion effect on the community, secondary school students, and teachers.
Once again the community will provide the local materials - mainly sand, stones, and sticks - while the money you put forth will pay for cement, zinc, and other imported materials. The secondary school students themselves will also help in the transportation of these local materials. Any donation you make will be highly appreciated by the school and community.
