Classroom Block
The work up to the foundation level has since been completed for the whole classroom block and they are now backfilling with gravel and soil, compacting them as well. Concrete columns are also at an advanced stage, with most of them up to just above the slab level whiles others are well above the window level.

Bricks
All the common bricks are already on site that is 200,000 in total and next week we should have other 44,000 face bricks.

Other Material
We now have the material schedule for all the plumbing works, door frames and other fittings and when we go to collect the reinforcement steel from South Africa next week, we will buy all this material.

Cholera
The situation has greatly improved especially with the aid of UNICEF and other organisations and we have witnessed some patients being discharged from the cholera centres to go back to their homes which was very unusual to happen, but in these past few days we have received a lot of rainfall and since cholera is a water borne diesease, it is most likely that it spreads quickly and then it can be at it peak. We are trying by all means to take into practice all the preventitive measures.
