The school in Sono Ma has made already good progress. The new construction of the school and the renovation of the existing school should be ready on 1 October 2014. Under the leadership of the team of Esay Dara this will certainly work out fine.

jul-14 – Construction in Sono Ma Gedeon from stichting dogon onderwijs on Vimeo.
The layout of ground prepared for the construction of the foundations. In the background there are piled compressed earth blocs.
This school resembles very much the school in Gangouroubouro, but the difference is made by an innovative solution of the pillars. It has been observed that many stones were cut during the implementation. That took a lot of time and many stones were spoiled. Because of new details, this is no longer the case.
The pleasant aspect of this project is that also in this case, just like in Senguembengou, we are going to renovate the old school and we will install a new roof. The project runs very well, also thanks to the great support of the population. It seems that the clear agreements regarding the contributions of each party by means of contracts bear fruit. I hope that in October 2014 the first beginning of the planting of trees will have restarted also.
