This spring, a group of teachers from primary schools in Cumbria with links to Uru primary schools went out to visit.  Thanks to Phil Clark and Elaine Nicholls for these photos.

It is good to see the Nurses’ House at the Rononi Dispensary in use.  Evarist sent this photo as bad weather meant the group   couldn’t get up here.  This makes it clear why there is a need for staff accommodation on site!

The Head’s House at Kisarika.   The doors and windows are now fitted and the whole house will be finished very soon.           

The photo below shows the current kitchen facilities for the Mrawi primary school.

The plot and plan have been prepared for the new kitchen and rubble for the foundations has been collected.  Work should progress well now so we look forward to news of its further progress.  See the Photo album - 2009 (link on right hand side of page) for more photos of the school in general.

Sweyne Park School has raised the funds for new classroom accommodation at Kisarika Secondary School and these have been sent out to help prepare for new A-level provision.

As you know, BTT has joined with the people of Uru to complete many projects.  We always insist on a local contribution, and indeed government money is available for some things so ours is a true partnership.  There is still a long-term need for more classrooms at Kisarika and Msiriwa as the numbers of students taking up education expands – good news! 
For the moment we have agreed with UNCODET that the priority is the Goat Project, which has a more formal title: Economic empowerment of marginalised and disadvantaged rural women and people living with HIV/AIDS.  This long title reflects the main thrust of the project well.  [Further details of the project were given in the last newsletter, which is available on the website.]  We are currently waiting for a final response from the Stephen Lewis Foundation, the Canadian organisation who have been asked for funds.  We expect this news in mid-April.  By backing UNCODET in their application for funds, BTT has increased the chances of a positive response. We have also agreed that if the Foundation does not respond favourably the project should start off small and be built up.
