The windows now have glass.

A donation of ceiling fans which are ready to be installed.

A donation of school chairs from the British Embassy in Brazil!

The drainage of rain water is at its final stage, and there will be no more rain drops in the corridors!

Overview of the new classroom and patio.

 A donation of R$2000,00 from Banco Central do Brasil's june event (St John's party) was received. The money will be used for painting the windows and doors. Our new classroom is almost finished!

Muito obrigado, amigos do Banco Central, vocês nos ajudam a finalizar nossa obra!

Last but not least: this blog is terribly boring. Pictures of a construction site... Ms Cirlene invited us to visit the school's profile at facebook to get in touch with the kids!  http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/plendes1.0

Construction update January 13, 2013

It seems that our classroom is almost ready: take a look at the beautiful white ceiling! The bathroom appliances are being installed. The counter in the kids' bathroom is fixed. We can see the lighting and the electric outputs on place, as well as the new doors and handles. Almost no leftovers on site: a new porch was built with unused material. The new area will room a laundry (last picture).

Construction update January 2nd, 2013

The project team visited the site on December 29, and checked the evolution of the construction. As shown by the pictures, the toilet walls have received adequate tiles, and all rooms received electrical wiring. The men now have taken a well deserved holliday, and we will also take our brake. Happy New Year to everyone who have been supporting and funding our new classroom! We wish you all a wonderful 2013!
