PAGEANT - "Education is the future"

Bakalarr Basic Cycle School, Staff Quarters, June 2008

Work is progressing well at Bakalarr on building living quarters for some of the school staff. We have received an email from Headmaster Bakary Gitteh saying:

"Thanks a lot for the extra fund for the completion of the roof. For your information the roof is completed and there is a balance of 30 sheets of corrugated iron. I have informed Wandifa about it and we have decided to use it to ceiling the parlour of the largest house in the block."

The photos below were taken by Pageant's agent Wandifa, before the last lot of corrugated sheets were put in place on the roof. In The Gambia, most schools and village houses do not have ceilings, only the roof itself, so a ceiling is a luxury! The interior still needs a lot of work doing, as shown in the last photograph.
