Katikamu Almost Complete

After being on vacation in Thailand for the last four weeks I was eager to get to the school building site in Katikamu to see the progress the community had made in my absence. I was pleased as always to find that things had moved along smoothly. The school and teachers housing is near completion now.
The classroom block is almost complete. It only requires plastering, painting and the laying of the floors.

The children of Katikamu are incredibly curious about the new school building.
The insides of the classroom have been built all the way up to the ceiling and plastering of the walls has already begun.
The teachers housing for the project is also nearing completion. The windows and doors should arrive within the coming days and then the community will be ready for plastering, painting and laying the floors.
The community is very enthusiastic about the school project. Ben mentioned that parents from the community have already begun knocking on his door asking when they can register their children for the next opening school term.
