It is “back to school” time! Children are excited to go back to see their friends, and schools are now busy getting the compound and classrooms ready to welcome them.

Government aided schools will kick-off classes on Monday 5th of February. Just over one more week to go.

We have taken these long holiday period (2 months) to repair all institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) and inspect the kitchen infrastructure of all 105 schools included and supported under our Project Activity. Sometimes, our Project Officers’ trained eye can spot problems that escapes school staff. Not only at the IICS level, but also at the kitchen building. For example, roofing problems with metal sheets leakages which during the rainy season can damage the IICS combustion chamber or saucepans with holes that need replacing, just to name a few.

There is also time for enjoying some board games - here I caught children playing Ludo, while carpenters are busy building new desks and benches.
