June 2010: Our roof is on!!

Photo of the school building as of June 2010.

Amazing things have happened!!!! It is in June 2010, when the disabled and vulnarable children of Fundo Village had their first time experience in learning under a shelter. This is amazing. A lot of thanks to Tonbridge Methodist Church, St. Margarets Primary school, Oakfield Primary school (all in UK) and the friends of the people of Fundo for your prayers and financial gifts. Thank you also to Gift Asiku's family for beening key is fundraising and suppervising this work here in Uganda.

One of the children (No name) said, "I never imagined siting in a sheltered classroom before. Now I am in a class."
Now all the four grade are using the shelter though it is not finished yet. A lot is yet to be done at this stage. The floor, wall plaster (cement), windows and doors and painting are not done yet.
There is hope...."WE ARE MOVING FORWARD."

The headteacher Bakole Gregory said, "This long time dream of our departed members has come to pass." Fundo school started in 1942 as a village school where learning was in Ma'di. After three years, the children were then sent to Rhino-camp primary school (15km from Fundo) for grade 4-6.

There was a lot of excitment as the children chose their classrooms and brought in chairs to sit on.

The community is looking forward to using the same facility as a centre for clinical services. The nearest health centre in at Rhino-camp (15km) while the nearest hopital in in Arua town (more than 75km). This is the next need to meet among the community.

Please, pary for funding to finish this stage of the project.
