Is there anything more exciting than seeing a new school take shape? I’m a little bit biased, but I say no. That’s why I’m so pleased to share a short update from our school #26. This school is located in the town of Tentoubougou, quite near another of our schools which is currently over-crowded. We are hoping this school will relieve crowding at the existing Leon W. Peter Harman Middle School.

As of last Wednesday, the school had walls and had begun to feel like an actual school. The contractors tell us things are on track. Desks are already waiting for the classrooms to be finished and windows and doors wait to be hung. The school's construction will be complete by mid-February, so stay tuned for news and celebratory photos!

Read more on the blog about why we took a different approach with this school's location and located it in a relatively more developed area.
