Grant Info

So my grant has finally been processed by Peace Corps (hooray!), which means that it's time to ask you guys to help me out. Anything you are able to contribute will be very much appreciated -- even $10 or $20 will go a long way. Here's a brief description of the project:
Having a large, useable space is an invaluable resource for a school. Students, teachers, and administrators can meet comfortably as large groups and, as a result, make the school more than a just place for lessons. At present, the Gymnasium has no such space. Its main building is a converted dormitory; half of it is still used to house students from other villages. Although these converted rooms serve well as classrooms for groups of 15-20 students, they are not conducive to larger group meetings. A large space – the club building – exists but is currently in poor condition and, as a result, only used for student holiday celebrations. Once renovated, the club will used for a variety of purposes. Students will be able to gather there for multiple extra-curricular activities, from student parliament to dance club to holiday celebrations. Teachers will be able to use the space for meetings and training sessions. Administrators will be able to use the space for regional meetings and seminars it gives as a professional development center. The school will be better equipped both to host larger numbers of people for already-planned seminars and more future groups, such as government officials, school commissions, and local teacher organizations.
