Setting out the Site
Setting out of the site for the 5 classrooms has been done and given the go-ahead by the buildings officer. All material for the foundations has been purchased and is in transit to Kaoma.
The blocks for the project are being produced by the Shishekano Block Making Project, which attached to Cheshire Home. 3,000 of the 10,000 blocks needed for the foundation have been produced to date.
The Tile Making station has been setup – the pond for curing has been excavated and is under construction.
