The so called kitchen that has to cater for 1700 pupils. A strong wind and it's gone. How does your school's kitchen compare?
	Standard 1, 76 pupils and Standard 3, 65 pupils outside their one classroom. 3 teachers in total.
Standard 2. Crowded as usual. BUT THEY STILL SMILE! There is always one clown! Can you spot her. Notice the different uniforms. This is usual for Africa. "As long as it's a uniform"
	And this is the Std 2 classroom. Palatial in comparison to some. No electricity or heating. And it can get cold in winter. Usually used by 2 classes at the same time!
Standard 5 classroom that has to accommodate 74 pupils. One teacher for the class.
	Standard 7 classroom attended by 67 pupils and 1 teacher.
In the background is the Standard 6 classroom, with a collapsed one in the foreground. It's one thing no to have enough space, but to loose a classroom is another entirely.
	The community church hall. It doubles as the Standard 4 classroom when available. 113 pupils and 2 teachers attend the class, but lessons stop for church services, with the inevitable loss of lesson time.
