News from Kogere school

Since the last news from Sega village Simba Friends Foundation reported significant progress concerning implementation of Kogere Primary School Project. The old building is already hard to recognize and in the same time workers began to work on building new premises. There were also some changes. Project assistant, Natalia Ćwik, who returned to Poland on the 3rd October, was replaced by Patrycja Zandberg. At the beginning of November the project assistants were joined by another person from Polnad - Rafal Zandberg, expert in landscaping and greenery. He will be responsible for creating a beautiful surrounding of the school. During few days spent in Nairobi Maja Krzyżanowska had few important meetings, among them with journalist of KBC tv channel and Nation daily newspaper and also with the ambassadors of Poland and Canada, representing in Kenya goverments of both countries financing Polish-Canadian Development cooperation program.

The school itself is already beyond recognition. Currently its being painted. The building is already plastered inside and outside, after the cabling was done.

The new roof was widened by creating a verandah - it will enable easy movement from one classroom to another during the rainy season and will be a shelter from the sun as well. The doors and windows were already fixed and the glass was put as well, but the pictures we have at the moment do not show it.

Both pupils and teachers are extremely happy to have new green blackboards, which are of incomparably better quality than those used so far and will make it easier to carry on lessons.

Simultaneously with the final renovation works in old school building, the workers started delimiting and digging foundations for the new premises.
