Building Update #1

June 29th, 2008 (written by Jason)
So we have officially started the renovations of Phechela Primary School. Here is a small flavor of what it is that we are working on. We have painted 2 out of 5 classrooms, we have repaired a sidewalk in front of the office, we have begun to paint the outside of the std. 6 and 7 building, we have repaired and extended the floors in the the std. 3-4 classrooms and we have completely painted, cleaned and organized the office. This was all in just the first week!

The people I am working with are so great. They are dedicated to making this school the best that it can be and are working so hard to accomplish that. And this is good because we have a lot more work to do. We still need to fix all the floors, repair the cracked walls, build and install 2 folding walls (I am designing and building them which is both fun and a little scary), repair the bathroom floors and walls, finish painting the interior and exteriors of the classrooms, and build and install some play equipment. I want to have all of this done by the middle of July but I don't know if that will be possible. We are certainly going to try though.

Otherwise, all is well. There is supposed to be a big taxi strike this week so we probably won't be traveling to much. We loved all the little messages about our anniversary. Thanks to all of you who remembered to drop a little note. I will try and get on to post some pictures in the next few weeks but I don't know how much I will able too. So be patient. I will get to it. All the best
Jason
