On the 27th of January the rubble was removed from the school yard in preparation for restorations to begin. Gavin Williams, one of the local contractors, has been awarded the restoration project. The project has had some teething problems as our buildings are listed as Class A historical buildings and strict guidelines must be adhered to in any reparation work. The most time-consuming factor so far has been the acquisition of lime mortar for the job, as this is not readily available.
Donations continue to come in and we are grateful to NICO, the healthcare company which provides doctors and medical staff for the island. Below - Steve and Maureen Terry from the Fundraising Committee receive a cheque from Jean and Fiona, NICO representatives.
We would also like to thank Honeyridge Baptist Church, as well as friends in New Zealand and Ireland for donations.
