Seisal School Construction Starts in 7 Days
No news of my trip to Timor for the Ossoluga High School opening ceremony unfortunately as it was postponed. The children are in and using the school, but the official opening will be later in the year. But the good news is that the Seisal Primary School project is all signed and due to start next Monday. With a planned 4 month construction period, we’re hoping that all 6 new classrooms and 2 teachers’ rooms will be finished by mid August. The photos show the groundbreaking ceremony, including the ceremonial burial of a coin and a picture of Elvino the builder (in yellow) with Aghostinho our project manager after signing the contract.

Ossoluga High School Opens Next Week
We’re off to Timor next week for the official opening ceremony for Ossoluga High School – our new 3 classroom school in the mountains outside Baucau. The kids have been using it for a couple of months, but now that the rains have stopped and the village is accessible by car, we are going to open it officially and celebrate with the locals over roasted buffalo! We’ll also attend a ground-breaking ceremony at Sesal school where construction of the new 6 classroom school is about to start.
project: Ossoluga, Sesal
