Community works

The Environmental Education programme is starting up again this week or next week, now that the main access roads have dried out. Elisaria did an official hand over of building materials to two secondary schools, Buiku Secondary School in Korogwe District and Mnazi Secondary School in Lushoto District.   The Mnazi school board of governors were delighted to now have the opportunity to build a science lab to house all the science equipment they have been donated.
