Bishop Comboni's E-Library is growing; one computer at a time. There has been progress while the Uganda schools were closed for Covid-19 beginning March 18th, 2020.
A new computer was purchased and installed. This brings the total number of computers to 11. When the school re-opened for the graduating Senior 4 class (O Levels) and the graduating Senior 6 class (A Levels) on October 15th, the resources had expanded. Operating under strict Covid-19 protocols, the school successfully brought back two classes of students who would have graduated in December 2020. They completed their interrupted term and will come back to a third term in January of 2021. Final exams will take place in March for O Levels and in April for A Levels. Life is almost back to normal for these two groups of students. The balance of the student body awaits official notification of the dates to return to school.
There was also progress in the building that houses the library. 2020 saw the completion of a project to repair the concrete of the exterior stairwell to the library and create a protective apron around the building. This work will insure the integrity of the foundation and stop deterioration of the concrete verandahs, etc. The library is safe for future generations. A wonderful asset on the campus of the best secondary school in the District.
Life can be good, if you look closely enough, even during a pandemic. Thank you to all who helped with these projects!
