Kisarawe School Project News
A brief update on what has been going on during these past couple of months at the Kisarawe School Project:
School project architect / surveyor:
The school project land surveying was put on hold as per the advise from the district land board because of the elections. Now that they are over and everything is back to normal, the survey process is going on though at a slow pace. We are now waiting for the last blue print for all the building drawings to come in, once they have been approved by the district building authorities.
Planting of trees:
We have been waiting on the rainy season, to start the planting of the trees. We are happy that, together with a team of village youths from the community, the True Grasses team were able to plant shade and fruit trees following the school site plan. This tree planting exercise will go in phases until the whole school project land is finished. We are using this tree planting exercise to raise awareness to the community about dangers of cutting down trees and our plan is to help give the villages surrounding the school project fruit tree once funds come.
Chickens:
A few chickens have been purchased for personal use of the overseer. We hope that these will expand into a chicken project that will supply eggs and chicken meat for the school children. As for now they give nutrients for the overseer as well as experience in the keeping of chickens in that area.
Storage Building:
Thanks to some more funding that came in, one of the rooms has been fully plastered and fitted with a frame door. This gives extra security to the items that have been placed in that room for safe keeping for future use.
