Francis Phatulu has informed us of the completion of the renovations of St. Ann’s and St. Paul’s boarding homes. He tells us that aside from much needed repairs to floors and ceilings, St Ann’s girls boarding home now has a study hall so the girls no longer have to study in the dining room. This will improve their study habits and help them learn. The study hall will also be used for the members of religious associations to hold their retreats or conduct religious courses and meetings. The renovated building now has the capacity to accommodate 50 people.
The installations of St. Paul’s boys boarding home have been also improved; the building is now neat and tidy. The boys sleep on the second floor and the first floor is a study hall. Special occasions and other activities are also held in this hall. Aside from the basic repairs needed at the two homes, Francis informed that they also were able to fix the ceiling of St. Joseph’s boarding home, something not included in the original project.
Thanks to PIME USA project donors, they reached their goal of having well-maintained rooms for all the poor boarding students who come from near or far. They are now able to maintain the health of the hostels and students in safe and sound places for the children to thrive and learn. The work was done over the summer and ready for this school year.
