Parents Oct 2009

Parents of Fundo Parents' Primary School.
During the time of work on this project, these parents in the photograph come daily to work with the builders.
They provide the un-skilled labour for the work like move bricks, mix cement, cook for the builders fetch water and mobilise the community. This is a big contribution from them to this project. It also shows their ownership of this project.
Their next plan in 2010 is to start an income generating activity for themselves and also for the school. They have planned an animal husbandry (Goat rearing and poultry)
Most of these parents have never gone beyond secondary education. Therefore, they are not even employed by any body. They are fishermen or subsistent famers. As a contribution from them to the project, they come daily to work.
There faces are very joyful because they can now see at least a classroom wall standing up in their area for their children.
The next target is to raise enough money to finish the wall (£1,200) and put the roof on the house (£4,237).
