Need to get that roof on - Fast!

Delighted to be able to send another £600 to Freetown today to pay all our teachers for the month of May, apart from two who are paid by the Government of Sierra Leone. A report on the state of the country at this year's Independence Day, 27th April, claimed the government are running out of money. I was hoping they would take over paying the teachers, as they have promised in the past, but we shall wait and see. It will be a delight for me when they do!

The school has been very successful recently, both in exam results and also in the pupils ability to deal with the Ebola epidemic, where the Primary Department  came second  out of around 50 Primary Schools.

The Government approved a Senior Secondary School on the site, which started last September, and this has meant extending the present buildings in view of the increased number of pupils wishing to be taught at the New Era Community Schools.

We began this work with a generous grant from a Trust and have received  further donations. This is what the building looked like in May 2016.
