It’s been a while since the last news update as we’ve all been very busy. Lots has been happening, we’re glad to say, mainly thanks to the valiant hard work of our volunteers, Laura Dunham and Katie Posner, and of course Jake Zarins working for both Project Galle 05 and Friends of Unawatuna. Thanks, too, to Erik Coleman, working for Project Galle 05 and coming up with some great ideas for us to get involved with!

ONGOING PROJECTS
Unawatuna MV School
The MV School in Unawatuna now has its computer room nearly completed, with 10 new computers and internet access to go in. We also plan to fund a computer teacher for a year, who can teach basic computer skills to the students and also train up a couple of teachers who can continue the training when the year is up. The internet access could be really useful in helping to maintain links between the MV School and schools in the UK.
Unicef have donated material for school uniforms for all the students. The Head Teacher has asked us for money to pay for them to be made, which we are happy to do.
Also at the MV School, work will soon commence on the building of the much desired toilet block, now we have found building quotes within a reasonable range. This should meet the needs of over 900 students and staff. Work on the perimeter wall is still in progress (it’s a very long wall).
Buena VistaSchool
At the Buena Vista School we have been asked to provide them with more toilets, now word has got around that we can do loos and walls!
