This week the PPE clothing was all ordered and is currently being produced. It has been kindly donated by K2 Consultancy and it's going to make us all look 'dashing' out on site! At least people will see us with our hi-vis vests on! Other clothing and the hoodie order went in this week, generating about another £2,000 towards the fund. Congratulations to the 5th year team for organising all that.
The design is in its final stages and this week the drawings will hopefully be signed off with only small changes to make. After this we plan to start ordering materials and sorting out the construction process. We have a long list already compiled of all the processes and tasks which need to take place in order for the school to be built. We just need to organise it and hopefully it'll all fit within 6 weeks! With a bit of help from K2 i'm sure we'll be fine.
Progress is being made out in South Africa too. This week work begins on site and from Wednesday the site should begin to be flattened and the setting out can begin. The aim is to have the slab laid the week before the phase 1 team arrive. Mr J Edmonds will be out there to monitor this process so fingers crossed it all happens on time.
Last week we updated our budget and had to come to the upsetting conclusion that we may only be able to afford to build 2 out of the 4 classrooms :-( Please, please, please donate any money that you could offer as it may mean we could build all the classrooms. If you would like to donate materials, we would also be grateful for any contributions. I've also added a sneaky pic of the design to give you an idea of what the individual classrooms may be like...hope you like it.
Will update again next week.
