Mateque School continues to grow!

Tin room after project completion
We closed Mateque School refurbish several weeks ago at the closing ceremony.  At that time, the school administrator shook our hands and promised he would keep working on the upkeep and improvement of his school as we had been teaching.

There is no better "thank you" than to see what you have been teaching applied.  We are so proud of Izidro Magaia and his community.  They are following thru.  They continue to work at improving the school.
Door the community bought
2nd door the community bought
These door were purchased by the community without our assistance.  The community had promised to secure the desks we had given them.  These two rooms did not have doors on them and so could not secure the desks.  There had been no desks put in these rooms because of that.  Now they have locking metal doors that match the doors we did provide them and secured the rooms.






Look at the happy teacher and students that get a desk to work from.  The teachers are so grateful to teach students from a desk rather from the floor.  They can walk among their students and see what they are doing and help them much easier.
Happy Teacher










The teachers have been standing the whole time, unable to sit down during their shift with no teacher's desk available until now.  They are also very happy with the cabinet, locking cabinet now provided to secure the textbooks supplied to them.

Happy children in their desks
We are so privileged to be called to this great country to serve the Lord on this mission.  We are so grateful for the principles of the gospel here (Welfare Principles) that have been applied and we have been a part of this great plan.  We hope and pray these principles continue to be adhered to  and that growth can continue to happen.

  1. How wonderful to see some progress finally! It must be hard to teach people to work together as a community to achieve something better. We didn't know we had it so good to have desks at school or even have a teachers desk!
