Katova crGreat things have been happening for the Katova High School project. At this stage we have one completed classroom block and we have commenced work on the second classroom block. The Katova villages have commenced work on 4 staff houses. The Japanese Grass Roots Program has allocated funding for another classroom block. The Solomon Islands Government have allocated SBD2.9 million to the project. We are on track for the High School to commence in 2021.

In 2020 there will be two teams from Australia travelling to Samasodu to complete the second classroom block and undertake some supplementary programs. Dates for the upcoming trips are;

Trip 1: Thursday 18th of June, 2020 to Thursday 2nd of July, 2020

If you are interested in participating in the upcoming trips in 2020 a registration form is attached. If you would like to be part of the planning team then please let me know and I will include you in meetings and regular updates.

The budget for the 2020 projects is around AUD50,000. We need to raise a fair bit of money so if you know of any individual or company that would like to support us then please do not hesitate to approach them. Also, it would be great if churches could also support the project through a collection or contribution. We have a variety of representatives in each state who would be able to attend and complete a presentation in relation to the work that has been undertaken so far if this would be of assistance.
