The first week of construction of the Mugunga Primary School has begun.

GSF and HEAL Africa have partnered to develop a peice of land that will eventually house a primary and secondary school, clinic, home for women victims of sexual violence, and an early childhood development center.

The community has embraced this project and every day there are at least 40 men, women and children at the site, moving stones, mixing cement, creating the cement blocks, building the building, and helping to feed and support the workers.’

Construction began the June 22 and will be finished the first week of August, with the help of such a strong community effort. Most exciting is to meet the children who will be the first class of students in the 1st through 4th grades offered for the 2006-2007 school year.
