Social Center Part 36 (School is Open!!!!!!!!!!!!)

So today, I went to the Center.

And it was the first time the kids where able to use it since construction began back in October. And its official I have turned over my keys to the Center to the Social Center Manager for her to be in control of from now on.

So SCHOOL IS OPEN.

And this is how America, the Peace Corps, its programs & people & its dollars really can make difference in the world.

The garden is a work in progress that is the responsibility of the Caregivers. But today I wacked weeds with a slasher and got couple of blisters as last day of work thank you.

So its all done. Thank you to all who have followed and contributed in some form.

Some time next week just for the heck of it I will post a before & after post to wrap it all up.

Anyway, now its find a job doing maybe something similar but in another part of the world.

The blog will continue but certainly there will be less news to report.


This is the last of line of students entering the School for the first time as it is all finished.



Some students at the school.
