Teachers Accommodations – March 15, 2016
Fran Fearnley, one of ZimKids board members visited Maori several times on her recent visit to Zimbabwe. These comments are from her report to fellow board members.
“The new School Development Committee is pursuing registration for the school and has been successful at the regional level. It is now with the head office of the Ministry of Education in Harare. An interim School Head has already been appointed and a final appointment will be made once registration is complete. There has been great progress on the site in the past few months. All of the buildings have been painted. The teachers’ house and their toilet facilities are now complete.”
Maori classrooms – March 10, 2016
The classrooms have been transformed into vibrant learning environments. The donation of school furniture by Stuart and Victoria Lazier, has made a huge difference to the way teachers and students are able to use the space. Thomas Kavhai, a Head of Nyachuru Secondary School, one of the schools Maori students attend for their secondary education, noted that this year’s intake from Maori showed that students had good marks and were much more prepared for secondary school compared with previous years.

Maori Primary School – February 16, 2016
It was great to see the difference the new school has made to the students in the community. But the two completed classroom blocks are not accommodating all the students. The younger children are still being educated in the old school site. While they now have school furniture the conditions are still less than optimal. The School Development Committee is hoping that ZimKids will be able to raise funds for a third and final classroom block.
