A graduate of a Village X school, now studying at the Polytechnic University in Blantyre, is adding artwork to show his support.

The painting of the classroom is in progress and should be completed early next week. The breeze blocks were not prepared correctly and are currently being traded out for stronger ones. Some of the existing masonry supports will be replaced with steel poles to provide greater structural integrity.

Construction on the nursery has been delayed by a series of funerals in the community, but the chief hopes that the doors and windows will be finished by the end of next week.

Alfred checked on the Namowa solar charger. He reported that the charger has been problem-free and provided a consistent source of power for device charging. This has encouraged teachers at local schools to find housing in the community, instead of living far away near the (unreliable) power grid and commuting back and forth to school each day.
