Dedication of New Kapoma Schoolhouse

Villagers in front of the main entrance to the new schoolhouse.

Gilbert (our teacher friend), the headmaster, and another teacher show their appreciation for the new school building.

Claire Powell, who oversaw construction of the school, tries out the new desks provided for the students by the Ministry of Education (MOE). MOE was so impressed with the quality of construction that they immediately sent 50 of these desks to Kapoma Basic School.

Scouts in their cardboard uniforms.  We would love to send them the unused scout uniforms languishing in your storage closet or chest.
