We are gearing up for some improvements to the Waves of Hope High School which will be completed in January and early February of 2020. Lately we have been focused on our fundraising efforts for this project and recentlywe held a Waves of Hope Bazaar in Ottawa. The event raised over $3000 CAD in support of our project and the group who coordinated the fundraiser will be visiting us this February to help out with the improvements.
High School Improvement Project
Phase One
The back portion of the school yard is a high traffic area that is dry and dusty in the dry season and muddy in the wet season. The toilets in back are in need of repair and painting, while the main footway area could really use some walkways, planting and repair.
The school restrooms are also in need of repair and maintenance including repainting, replacing broken water pipes from the cistern to the tank and from the tank to the hand-washing area, and replacing the handwashing sink. There is also a need to build stairs at the south west end of the new classrooms building.
Total Estimated Budget for Phase One Project: 80,000 cordoba ($2,462 USD)
Phase Two Service Retreat – Outdoor Plaza / Recess Seating Area
The second phase of the Manzanillo High School improvement project is a proposal to construct an outdoor plaza seating area. As most of the school grounds is open dirt, the majority of the outdoor areas are dusty in dry season and muddy in the wet season. We hope that by constructing an outdoor area using the same blocks as the walkways we will be able to reduce the amount of mud and dirt that is tracked throughout the school and provide an aesthetically appealing area for social congregation, studying and lunch breaks. The trees in this part of the school provide a natural shaded area that is currently not being utilized.
Total Phase 2 Estimated Cost: 110,000 (3,385 USD)
