The school is finished ! It's crazy, everyone is so happy here : the teachers, the workers, even the city officials who came for this event ! Now all those children are gonna study in a real school, with real teachers, without walking two hours a day. We are so proud ! :)
(The children in front of the brand new school !)
We're now on the fourth week, and the school is almost finished. But there's still a detail : in a school, there are students but also teachers. So me and some schoolmates went with our teacher to nearest city, Ipala, and we got the city officials to hire three teachers.
It's almost done !
This school is apparently affecting everyone in Amdaleye... My teacher sent for workers around the village ; fifteen volunteers came today, and twenty other voluntary workers will come until tomorrow... This is crazy ! We're gonna be around fifty people building this school.
And by the way, the atmosphere here is just amazing !
(Three very sympathic workers !)
We just had a field given, and we are going to use it to build our school. And with all the money we got in France, we bought lots of things to start the construction : wood, sheet metal, bricks...
Our school is born !
We finally arrived here, at the Ouagadougou airport. We're gonna take a bus to go to our little village, called Amdaleye. It’s a tiny village of barely 500 inhabitants. The few children who can go to school have to walk a lot, because the place where they go is 15 kilometers far. We stay here five weeks; our goal is to build a school who can receive every single child of Amdaleye !
(This is the bus we took !)
Hello, I'm François Larvor, I'm 15 and I'm gonna go to Burkina Faso, in Africa, with my school on these summer holidays. Burkina Faso is a really poor country, and a lot of children can't go to school there... So we're going to build one, in a little village of the countryside. Burkina Faso, here we come !
