Thank you very much for supporting the Nyanga North High School project in Zimbabwe. We are aiming to raise £120,000.00 (about £10,000 per Boarding House) for the following buildings:- - the construction of a classroom block (2 classrooms and one being turned into a Science lab) - five workshops for practical subjects (Metal Work, Woodwork, Food Science and Clothing Textiles and Design and Technology) - 2 teachers’ houses (to house at least 6 teachers. Once these buildings are in place, we will be able to open our doors to Year 8 and Year 9 students. The school will be unique in Zimbabwe and the whole of Africa. Nyanga North High School will be: - A school that educates the least privileged children in the least privileged district in Zimbabwe. - The first school in rural Zimbabwe where pupils will have the opportunity to excel in their areas of talent; academic, sport and performing arts. - The first school in the district to have Science laboratories and practical subjects workshops. - A flagship school - the first of its kind in Zimbabwe to resemble schools in more developed economies. - The first school in the country to have a wildlife enclosure. Apart from the buildings, we are also want to raise about £7 500.00 to buy and ship a 40 ft container with educational resources and equipment for the above subjects. Some of the resources and equipment needed are: - Furniture: Chairs, whiteboards, exam tables, etc - Science laboratories and Music equipment - Sports equipment - Library and children's reading books Equipment and tools for the practical subjects (carpentry, building, welding, ceramics, gardening, food sciences and clothing textiles). We also need about £7 000.00 to start the ground clearance and excavation before the November rains fall.
