The blog where Kafuro Primary School and the Federation of Liss Schools share their learning.
Yesterday, Sunday 1st February, the building work at Kafuro was completed with the final render applied to the veranda. This means that the pupils will be able to return to school to safe classrooms thanks to the fundraising efforts of Liss pupils.
Mr Mukama sent photos of the last stages of the work.
Mr Mukama has kindly sent more photos of the building work at Kafuro where the render is being applied to the new wall of the P1 & P2 block. This shows us that the building process is close to completion.
There has been continued progress in the repair of the P1 and P2 block at Kafuro. As the photos below show, the new wall is continuing to take shape. Work has also started on the veranda and beams are being fitted to strengthen the walls and the roof.
It is the middle of the school holidays at Kafuro (they don’t return until early February) but the site has been really busy as work has begun to strengthen the classroom walls of the P1 & 2 block. At the beginning of January, Mr Stanley sent out 3,000,000UGX raised by Liss pupils so that work could get underway. Within a week, Mr Mukama has organised a team to do the work and set up meetings to plan the building schedule. Work began this Monday to remove the cracked wall, underpin the roof and begin building a replacement wall before applying render and working on a new veranda.
Mr Mukama has already started sending photos through to show some of the rapid progress in the building schedule. He will continue to do this on a regular basis until completion. Here in Liss, we are very grateful that our friends in Uganda will be returning to school in a safe classroom.
Mr Stanley recently sent out a large sum of money raised by Liss pupils and staff to aid infrastructure improvements at Kafuro Primary School. This has been raised by the netball team’s sponsored shoot, the sale of crisps at Film Club and during Treat Friday in the last academic year. Primarily, this money will allow the school to fit windows and shutters to the school buildings.
Mr Thembo has sent photos of the school being measured up for this work. It is also worth noting how green the school site appears at this time. Apparently, there has been a lot of rain at Kafuro recently.
