It has been very hard on everyone! Students, teachers and even the buildings suffer when the campus is vacant. The Bishop Comboni campus is a beehive of activity now to prepare for the students' return in January.
They are repairing the damage done in the last four months during the second closure; rains were very heavy and regular maintenance could not be done. Local workers are resurfacing some concrete walkways. Plumbing is being renovated. The campus will be ready for the 620 students who will be reporting back to school in January. Fortunately, the Library building was spared any damage. It had been protected by architectural innovations that kept it safe.
The books are on the shelves, although many open spaces cry for more textbooks and reference books to be added. The computers will soon be fired up again. The excitement is palpable. The upper levels of education in Uganda have successfully re-opened and have set the prescendent for safe operation. There is a lot of comfort in seeing vocational and university students back on their campuses for the last month. It is working.
It is an exciting time. Hooray for safety measures and students who are mature enough to follow them. Bishop Comboni's library will again be hosting its many students and playing an enormous role in their ability to compete and understand the world around them!
