March 2013 Update - Governor supports college project

Fundraisers in Burundi and the UK have raised the £10,000 required for the first classroom of a technical college in Muyinga, Burundi, Africa to teach essential building and construction skills.

Work started in October 2012 on the ground clearance. The picture below shows the community working on the terraced foundations in January 2013.

We have received news that Muyinga's new Governor has offered to provide materials to the community to help build the college.

This is the culmination of 18 months of work. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed time, funding, advice and support.

... this is just the start, please send us your ideas for the project.

The college will provide an environment for education and reconciliation. Through working and socialising with one another pupils will gain a joint understanding of the opportunities for both themselves and the community.
