The teachers toured the proposed areas to select the exact location for the first building in the Teachers Housing area. There will be four of these four-unit buildings when completed. There is palpable excitement now as we see the foundation ready for the work to begin on the structure.
A group of teachers chose this site for its location near reliable water and power on campus. It posed a few challenges for the architect, seen here atop the completed foundation for the first building. He is a happy man and he, too, is excited to see the tangible progress on the first four-unit building. He dealt with the hilly terrain and capped the foundation work to protect it from weather as funds are sought to complete the first stucture for the teachers.
It is a wonderful milestone in the journey to accommodate the teachers on campus. Housing stabiltiy is the most important factor in teacher retention. Teacher retention is key to the high quality of education at Bishop Comboni Secondary in Uganda. An exciting step has been achieved and we look forward to seeing the walls, windows, and all that will follow!
