New school wall at Buguruni School for the Deaf



Some really exciting things have happened recently. One of the best is that the school now has a new wall. This was an extremely kind donation from a large local business. Before this, the wall was very broken-down, with big gaps. This meant that the school was not as safe as it should be. But it is now a beautiful, high wall and the local business also gave a new gate. As an extra bonus, they knocked down the old headmaster's house, which was a derelict eyesore. This has given the school an extra space, with lovely shade from a huge mango tree.

Another local company did the construction work and did a great job - we say a big thank you to Mbesso, and their supervisor, Arnold. They were especially kind, and did some free plastering and painting at the end.

The finished wall and new gate.

Early stages

Before it started. We didn't actually make the children do the work.
