Laying the foundations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
July 1st, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school is built on a steep hillside. It consists of 6 classrooms with windows facing towards the valley and a hallway that is dug into the hillside. Here you can see the foundations of the classrooms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

July 21st, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naim travelled to the provincial capital Nili to inform local authorities of the school building project. Unfortunately, the local education authorities have no budget to support school construction at the moment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

July 25th, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you can see village elders inspecting the construction site. They have started digging out the space that will be needed for the hallway and finished the foundations for the classrooms. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

August 1st, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four workers are building the school. In total, the workers were promised three tranches of 86000 Afghani, one at the start of the project, one halfway in and the final tranche will be paid out once everything is complete. The first tranche was paid by the village elders – however not in full. Darya covered the remaining 38500 Afghani and the second tranche. When the workers were paid, the village elders were present to serve as witnesses. In addition, the workers signed confirmation forms and we received video recordings of the process. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

August 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outer walls are built of stone while the inner walls between the classrooms are made of a mud and clay mixture. The picture on the right shows the walls in the beginning of August, whereas the two pictures below show the progress made by mid-August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ceiling is made of wood. A few large logs are worked into the walls and they carry smaller logs which again carry wood branches. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

September\/October 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school will have steel doors for the hallway, wooden doors for the classrooms and large windows for the classrooms. On the right, you can see one of the steel doors. Below is a close up view of one of the windows, already with paint and the window grille in place. Naim already bought the window glasses, but they will be put in only once everything else is ready. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

October 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make the walls water proof, they are covered in plaster made from cements. The roof is covered in one layer of mud, a plastic foil to make it water proof and a second layer of mud and clay. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe basic structure is nearly done<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some work is still left to do. Toilets need to be built and for the hallway, which is lit by openings in the roof, we need to install flap doors to protect against rain and snow. We have also ordered blackboards and carpets for the children to sit on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
