3. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 The plot

We are overjoyed to have found a suitable property in the same neighborhood as the old school in March 2022! It is only about 10min walk away.
In July 2022, the donations have reached the cost of the land, so now all further donations can be used for the construction of the school.
3.2 The construction plan

This is the plan which was made by our architect.
3.3 The construction of the fence
The first thing we did was to build the fence wall, so that the property is not entered by uninvited guests and we can also store building materials well on the site.








3.4 The construction of the school building
In January 2023 it is planned that we will start the construction of the school building. We will regularly post pictures online so that you can follow the construction progress.
