The relationship between CRC Primary and the Kabala School for the Blind has been confirmed through the board, and we are hoping to have our first “blind day” (or whatever the name will be) next month!
The most exciting news, however, is that after meeting the School Management Committee chairperson, MA Jalloh, I am confident that the school is in good hands. He has been involved with the school since the beginning, and really has a soft spot in his heart for its students, and wants the best for them. He also has the means and the connections to get things done, and since he stepped in as the chairman of the SMC 8 months ago, things have already happened. The most significant of these is that he got the district council to fund the building of 3 classrooms on their old site (the place they were located before the war). He was the principal of a local high school for many years, and until recently was in parliament, so he certainly has a ton of connections.
He has a plan for the school, and has been working hard at making things happen. I am meeting with the SMC next week, and next time I go to Freetown I will meet with MA and discuss prices for school supplies. Will keep you updated.
