Update March 2011: During our trip last Easter (2010) we got quotes for us to dig a bore hole for the school to have its own water supply for drinking and for watering the garden, which has been suffering due to the lack of water. The cost is about £3,500 and we have been trying to raise the money ever since. With the economic climate in this countr at the moment we are finding it tough so if anyone wants to donate to the bore hole please let us know.
During March a group of 22 students and teachers from Winstanley college went to our school with to see what life was like for the children of Bafuloto Village.
A great time was had by all and a video and Photos are on the website for you all to see.
Thats all for now
