Our New School Building - Phase 2
Until now we have been teaching in our 2 very large huts with tin roofs and under our beautiful big tree.
But for the future we want to build a proper brick building for 2 classes – partly because of pressure from the inspectors, since we are, after all, a state school..
According to David it will cost €7,000, but experience tells us that by the time everything is finished it will be around €10,000. We don’t have that money (yet). But why wait?
We thought we would simply make a start. Brick by brick, to build our vision on solid ground 😀
Thank you to all the supporters who make this possible.
In this phase of construction we are focusing on the roof. By our estimate we are still short of about €3,000 to put a roof on it.
Warmest regards, Bernd, Marco and David
Update 16 November 2025
The last course of bricks has been laid, and now we have been able to pour the concrete ring beam. That is the concrete ring right at the top that holds every building together (ours too). A very important step before the roof goes on.
By the way, the building is 163 square metres in size.
Update 20 December 2025
The roof is finished! YEAH, we did it – hard to believe, but it’s on.
Everyone is so happy!
