A whirlwind has lifted the roof off the new building !!
Some of us were inside but there was no time to get out – we all got a little dusty but no injuries. Fortunately the wind dumped the roof down again – just not exactly in the right place! It was supposed to be tied to the ring beam ! We got all the older students together and with some planks and working together we managed to shift the roof back into place. The builders need to come back to tie the roof down properly and make good along the edge where it’s been damaged.

The inspectors from Kabwe arrived unexpectedly and gave us all a grilling! We have to register the schools each year – filling in forms in quadruplicate and then I had to take them to Kabwe (100 miles) – wait there for a letter which I had to take to Headquarters in Lusaka before we can even begin the registration process.
