SOLAR POWERED CLASSROOM
On the 4th April Bernie Hollywood travelled to Magadi, Kenya to oversee the delivery and build of the new solar panelled classroom.
Bernie says: “Matthew & myself have had a long term dream of bringing Computer Science into Matthew's Memusi School, Magadi, Kenya”
“Our dream was to have a fully constructed & operational Computer Laboratory / Classroom that could teach the children & community how to write computer code & so much more. Both Matthew & I feel that possessing Computer Science skills will give the children the greatest opportunity of securing future high tech jobs & provide the knowledge within the community to develop Social Enterprise ideas & businesses”
“After two years of fundraising activities & with the support of Chris Arnold CEO of World Merit & planning with Martin Muckle Managing Director of Stonehouse Kenya we were ready to commence the construction of our first ever "solar powered" computer laboratory / classroom. I personally joined Martin Muckle for the construction of this truly unique building which is now complete.”
