With 247 students in grades K-11, there is great need for a new high-school building in the new compound. Also, 5 of the 12 teachers are living in an old school building in the old compound and there is a desperate need for a new teachers’ cottage. Accordingly, we have built a new 80′ x 30′ school plus new teachers’ accommodation this year.
