The construction of the Lycée Professionnel in Sangha is going strictly according to plan. In preparation for our visit in the end of March, we provide a little update of the school’s current status. Here follow some important moments of the process.
The start of the construction was made possible by the supply of ground earth, red soil and materials, thanks to the efforts of three so-called “BEN” trucks by Agro Industries. In late April, about 1500 m³ of soil will have been transported to the site area in order to shape the landscape.
On site, the brickwork factory runs at full speed. One of the remarkable moments occurred when the first stone was laid in the presence of Sangha’s mayor Ali Dolo and students of the ETJS in Sévaré who are doing their internship in Sangha.
Regarding the progress of the project, the basement made of chopped stone of the first six classrooms andteachers’ houses is now finished.
Three of these classrooms are significantly advancing: wooden panels on the window frames and electricity points have already been installed.
The visit of all village elders and educational organizations was very important for the future of the Lycée Professionnel and its students. The ADI organization, headed by Amatigue Dara, is taking care of the entire process, from registering the students to discussing the program of the lessons.
There are around 200 people, including women, working on the school to enable the project’s success.
The students of the ETJS are now proceeding with the construction of the teachers’ houses. In the end of March, we will be in Sangha to help and discuss how the barrel vaults and domes can be made in the simplest way possible.
