Lerang’wa in Lockdown

Lerang’wa School is back open following the shutdown in Tanzania.  They were as disappointed as us that our Lower Sixth Form visit to the school didn’t go ahead for the first time in 15 years due to Covid-19,  but we remain partners in these difficult times.  Money raised by Caterham School pupils has been used to establish the vegetable garden, a new initiative for the new head teacher: Mr Ruge, requiring good fencing and irrigation.  It will be educational  as  well as supplementing the diets of the pupils alongside our Lernag’wa Lunches provision. 

The village of Lerang’wa has been only mildly affected by Covid so far thanks to the shut down, and numbers at the school are higher than ever upon reopening.  We will be in close communication in order to support the education of the young people in our partner school in the most effective way possible.
