Ben and we got the first school benches. We hope to be able to finish the 5th and 6th classroom soon. But the first four classrooms are already an important step for us.

Today is the day we have been waiting for for almost 3 years: We have opened the school with the first 40 children! It's hard to put into words what we are experiencing here, but 'overwhelming' and 'wonderful' meets...

We finally came back here and first thing we did was drive to our school. What a sight. Makes you a bit proud.

Ben greets you all very warmly! He's sitting on our tween roof right now and inspects the construction that will be filled next. It's good to have a site manager as headmaster.

Our roof has been poured and, as you can see on the pictures, is now being reinforced so that we can build the second floor one day. Please excuse the quality, but Ben's cell phone is broken and he helps himself with a rental cell phone.

For a while the construction was at a standstill because we lacked the necessary funds. Now we will at least be able to continue with the roof.

Ben proudly presented us this picture today. He sends us regular updates via Whatsapp and his grin was the most beautiful picture today.

Our first intermediate status already shows the basic structure. Plenty of room for education and creativity.

Here you get an insight into the construction of the foundation. Sand & gravel form the subsoil and with the cement blocks we have created a ground level foundation, as our property is slightly sloping.

Ben sent us a picture of the crew that did most of the work. We would like to thank them.
