In Progress

In progress: New brick school and more wells

The middle school in Besseye-Lar, Chad, is open to the elements, so when it rains books are damaged.  STELAS is working with villagers to build a brick classroom.  Volunteers have already made the bricks and built walls with them.  STELAS is committed to raising $5,000 to pay for windows, cement, zinc roofing, and other materials needed to complete the building. Target date of completion is September 1, 2011.

Another project in progress is the construction of two more wells—one for the middle school and one for the village in general.  Money for these wells was donated by Drop in the Bucket, a partner organization, after the successful completion of the primary school well project.
