Now Learning in a Dry Classroom

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Dear project supporters

Thanks to your support our kids will be learning in 3 dry rooms this semester.  

Learning in a room with a leaking roof is no fun. Like you, the kids in Liberia do not like to get wet - particularly when they are trying to focus. Additionally, the drip-drip sound of the dropping water was distracting. Because of the leaking and damaged roof, one of the rooms was unusable during the heavy downpours typical in Liberia.

Over the summer, we replaced 36 sheets of zinc covering 2 and a half rooms. These areas were partially damaged. You can see a photo of the roof being repaired. This means that this semester and going forward the students will be able to learn in a dry classroom.  Because of you, those classrooms will be fully utilized this semester. The kids will be dry and able to focus.

Thanks for making a significant difference in their learning environment.

With deep appreciation
The Develop Africa Team
