Rurembwe
school, which has 733 pupils, has some very old classrooms which
are unsafe for the children to be in.
They
have now been condemned and are not used anymore.
| |
|

| |
These
pictures show how overcrowded the classrooms are.....
|  | | .....
and also illustrate the enthusiasm of the pupils. |
|
Rurembwe
also has some more modern classrooms ..... |
|
|
|
.....
constructed in the last few years ..... |
|
|
|
.....
and some latrines. |
|
|

| |
On
the site there were also some partly-finished classrooms. The construction
was started by the Ugandan Wildlife Authority, but they ran out
of money before the project was completed.
ACE
has funded their completion.
ACE
has paid for the roof which has cost £2,000. We were helped
by a £500 donation from Mounts Bay Rotary Club, Penzance.

| |
Inside, the
floors were laid, and, when this picture was taken in October 2006,
the walls needed plastering and the windows needed glazing.
|
These pictures
were taken by David Epidu when he visited the school to inspect
progress at the end of January, 2007.
The
brick walls have been rendered and the windows are glazed. This
building is providing two large classrooms, and another room, which can be used
as a small classroom, staffroom, or office.
It means that
the children can at last move out of the dilapidated classrooms
shown at the top of this page.
|
|
|
|
Inside,
the walls have been plastered and painted, and the blackboard is ready for use.
The
classroom is now in use but the children have to sit on the floor.
At
this stage the classroom furniture still needed to be supplied,
and we subsequently raised more funds need to do this.
|
|
|
|
ACE
has recently supplied more guttering for the buildings because the
existing gutterings were insufficient to keep the water storage
tank full.
We
have also carried out some repairs. New glass was needed in several
windows and some cupboard doors needed replacing.
|
 |
|
Another project
which ACE funded in 2008 was the partitioning of one large classroom
to provide two smaller ones.
These pictures
show the newly built partition.
|
 |
|
There
is still a way through from one classroom to the other but the two
classes can be taught separately.

Quayle Visits Rurembwe
Eden
Quayle visited Rurembwe in October 2007.
This picture
shows him with some of the pupils and the beautiful view of the
mountains and lake behind.
|
|
|
 |
|
The
school is a busy place.....
|
|
.....full
of happy pupils.
|
|
|
 |
|
This
picture shows one of the classrooms ACE completed in 2007 and illustrates
the shortage of desks.
We
have subsequently managed to supply 20 more desks through donations
to our Desk Appeal so this project is
completed.
