Building the school; August 2015

Foundations have been laid, and piles of sand and rocks sit waiting to be incorporated into the walls of the new school for the children of Bejio. In the middle of the village, stacked bags of cement are exciting evidence of the project underway on its outskirts. The school will have two classrooms, and is designed to accommodate all 90 or so children of primary-school age in Bejio and nearby hamlets. A formal, three-way agreement between the villagers in the Fokontany of Bejio, ESSA, and Madagascar National Parks spells out the contributions each is making toward the project. It is expected that construction will be completed by November. The whole project is made possible by a generous gift from Morgan Davies, who visited Beza Mahafaly as a student at the School for International Training in 2007.[:fr]

Building the school; August 2015

Les fondations ont été creusées, le sable et les pierres pour la construction des murs sont rassemblés, et des sacs de ciment ont été achetés : la construction de la nouvelle école a bel et bien démarré. L’école comprendra deux salles de classes qui peuvent accueillir au total 90 enfants du village de Bejio et des hameaux voisins. Un contrat entre les villageois du fokontany de Bejio, Madagascar National Parks et l’ESSA définit leurs responsabilités et leurs contributions respectives. Il est prévu que la construction soit terminée en novembre. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au don généreux de Morgan Davies, qui a visité Bezà Mahafaly en 2007 en tant qu’étudiante dans le cadre d’un programme de formation internationale.[:]
