The playground and classrooms at Murehe "B" school. They remind me of an abandoned army camp or disused airfield somewhere in east Anglia....In order to free up an exiting classroom, the school is building a new maternelle (nursery) room.Just beyond the school bell people are busy making mud bricks for both the new room for Murehe's maternelle, and new secondary classrooms.Murehe needs new classrooms for next January's new secondary intake. There's no help forthcoming from the government, so this is the "do it yourself" school building kit. Eucalyptus tree trunks for the roof timbers. Stone from the mountainside and river bed for the foundations. And mud bricks, made by the villagers on umuganda days, for the rest.
