It has been six months with no students allowed on secondary school campuses in Uganda; a very difficult time for students, teachers and all who make Bishop Comboni the top school in the District. The campus has been restored to its former standards over the last two months. It was amazing to see the extent of the damage from weather and disuse.
Now the teachers are on campus getting ready for the influx of over 600 students who will again enjoy the nurturing environment of this wonderful school. They are strategizing on the best practices to get students back on track. It has been a long time without this necessary structure in student lives. The teachers are anxious to see their classes full of smiling faces.
And, of course, the teachers have been met with the finished foundation of the first of the four planned housing buildings. It is heart-warming to know that teachers walked the campus and chose this particular site for the first 4-unit building. They are looking forward to seeing the first signs of construction of the first building. Hopefully the building will be erected in 2022. They deserve the security of knowing that they will always be able to live on the campus where they teach. Housing stability is the biggest factor in teacher retention and retention is huge in the relationship of teachers to students.
Thanks to all who have supported this project so far. We have have faith that this will be a reality in the near future.
