301 1 16 Star School

Awoken to the wonderful sound of African bird song, urban birds have to sing louder to compete with all the other urban sounds. Then down to the new extended veranda for a hearty Solace breakfast. Then we set off in the Solace minibus with Johnathan driving with our two new engineer companions Jonathan  and Alan who are part of an organisation called Christian engineers in development. We went to Star school which is the school bishop Nathan has built and we met him there discuss a water harvesting project.

The bishop told us t he story of building this pit latrine
The people digging this pit smelled gas but one workman still went do to collect his tools
He was overcome by gas so another went down on a rope to retrieve him only to pass out himself before he could put a rope around him. Finally the fire brigade came before he was killed with breathing apparatus to rescue him.

Steve McKellar joined us he had put in solar panels into the classrooms which seemed to be working very well.
