How to use the time when students are not on campus? The question was easily answered with a win-win decision. Bishop Comboni had dedicated the top floor of a new classroom building to the use of the E-Library. The interior of the library is lovely (with terrazzo flooring) but the stairs and concrete work elsewhere in the building needed repair to the surfaces. Defective concrete was deteriorating fast!
The local laborers were in need of employment. The work to repair the concrete needed to be done while students were away. Bwindi Community Program raised funds to remedy the stairs and classroom flooring situations. When the students are able to return to campus, within the guidelines of WHO and the Ministry of Education requirements, the building will be ready and the stairs, classroom floors, etc. are durable now. The heads of the maintenance team that oversaw the work are celebrating in the photo!
The computers and books already acquired are waiting in the E-Library. The need for more computers and books continues. This facility will again be heavily used and appreciated. Thank you to all who have contributed to this amazing E-Library in rural Uganda; the first of its kind in the District. The 650 students, residents, and adjacent hospital are grateful.
