Unique Child

This small school in Moree village has experienced some amazing and big changes in the past two months. Most of this time has been a break for the kids at the school, which has resulted in plenty of time for construction.  With the help of my mom (the one living in AK) I have been able to give my head mistress Ruby $2500 that was raised by you!!! I have gone several times to see how the work on the school is going, and to make sure the money is going where it's supposed to go. We still have a ways to go and I definitely underestimated the cost but what has been done is amazing and makes the world of difference to the kids. 
Here is a run down of where the money has gone.

1.Cement Work 
a.12 bags for class rooms
b.20 bags for molding blocks
c.13 bags for wall 
d.15 bags for the yard 
The total being 60 bags, each bag is 30 cedis.
The total cost was 1800 cedis ($450)

2.Sand for molding blocks costing 240 cedis ($60). The workmanship costing 200 cedis ($50)

3.Sand for classroom, the wall, and casting cost 600 cedis ($150)

4.Soil for filling the yard and its transport cost 560 cedis ($140)

5.Wood for windows, doors, and gates cost 600 cedis ($150)

6.Seesaw and merry go round cost 500 cedis ($125)

7.Cost of uniforms that had already been made but hadn't been paid, 630 cedis ($155)
 
8.Teachers pay 400 cedis ($100)

 9.Uniform material and tailers pay, 560 cedis ($140)

10.The 2 mason's pay, 230 cedis ($55)

11.Carpenter's pay, 200 cedis ($50)

12.The 3 laborer's pay 720 ($180)  

Total=7,220 cedis ($1,805)

This is what has been done at the school so far, but there is still so much work to do. We will soon move on to getting the library functional and getting more chairs, books, etc because since the work started many more kids and there parents are interested in the school! I want to thank everyone who donated from the bottom of my heart, you have given a small girl named Giftty a environment where she can now learn her alphabet, a boy named Quese a chalk board to practice his times tables on. All these kids say thank you while dancing around me in there new (but quickly dirtied) uniforms. I hope that it makes you as happy as me to have given these kids a chance at an education and building up a prosperous and proud community.

  1. So happy to read this, Avery, and thankful for you connecting us with the children and families there. Will this carry on after you leave? It would be good to think about how we could continue to help out once you are back home with us. Love you, Thea xxx
