Uganda has a plan to reopen schools completely and finish the 2020 academic year in late spring. The 2021 year will commence in the summer. This news makes the need for creation of more housing for teachers and staff on campus even more intense.
Over the past few months, BCP donors have added to the fund to create that housing. Work on the first 4-unit building can begin when a minimum of $5,000 is in the fund. BCP has $3,146 in that fund now and will continue to search for donors or grantors to reach the magic level to commence work. Each unit will cost $6,086 and accommodate 4 lucky teachers who will no longer face housing challenges.
The entire faculty and staff will be on working on campus by March 1st. Many came back to work in October of 2020 when the graduation candidates returned to resume their studies. It is a serious effort to prepare for the exams that are so important to the next steps in their educaion.
The sight of the teacher housing construction will encourage teachers to stay at Bishop Comboni. They are the backbone of quality education for this highly-rated secondary school. Thank you to all who have helped us!
