Just like in Senguebengou, this year in Sono Ma we were busy with a renovation of an old school and the design of a new one.
The roof of the old school was completely blown off by the wind. We repaired it, we improved the ventilation of the classrooms and now some small details need to be fixed and painted (like doors and windows).
The works on the interior are also in progress. The roof construction was changed and reinforced, but the other elements need renovation as well. The cracks in the walls should be fixed, the floors redone and the classrooms have to be painted.
The new school resembles those in Senguebengou and Gangoubouro. A nice veranda offering sun protection, a steel roof and good ventilation in the top part of the walls. Of course, all built with HCEB blocks made from local materials.
