For weeks all the staff have been inundated with questions. “Teacher, what day will we move into that building? Have you seen isn’t it beautiful?”
Today, the waiting came to an end. I wanted to just quickly share a few photos especially for those of you who have been fundraising for and worrying about and anticipating the building for months now.
The building isn’t entirely finished, and a little work is still taking place to make the top half inhabitable, but we decided to move the girls into the bottom half anyway. And from the looks on thier faces they won’t mind being a wee bit crammed for a week or two.

To think that not so long ago, these girls were living in impoverished conditions, ignored by their teachers, with most of their lives consisting of doing chores with not a thought to themselves nor their futures. Today they are thriving in a unique school dedicated to girls, where they are thrilled to be learning and finding their own dreams. Thank you, Charlotte, for capturing these precious moments of joy!

Great to see these kids so excited for the power of education. I hope they take full advantage of the opportunity, and realize the sky is the limit. Congrats on the completion of this project, with, I’m sure, many more to come.
