Years 2012-2013

During 2012-2013, the carpenter built several single and double bookcases, six tables with ten chairs each for the students, and two desks for the staff.  We spent two and a half months sorting the over 7,000 books that were shipped from the US and had been kept in storage. 

A sign painter designed three large metal signs for the two buildings and painted signs above the doorways.

The grand opening of the Dompoase Kindergarten Complex was held in February 2013.  A couple hundred people from the village, municipal offices, teachers, and others attended the official opening.
