A group of Worldschool students are working on developing a report featuring low cost building techniques that can be used in Cameroon so we can build a good and sustainable school building. This includes an energy system that is low cost and sustainable.
Related Questions to be answered in the report include:
1. What are low cost but sustainable building techniques that can be used in Cameroon?
2. What are the pros and cons of these building techniques?
3. What will be the costs for building the school using these techniques?

Update on status of Embassy Proposal
Mon, 2009/11/23 - 12:32
The Japanese Embassy recently contacted Bramuel by phone to inform him that they want to come out and visit the hospital again early next year. They told him that a date will be arranged and confirmed via letter. Bramuel explained that if they consider funding a project in Kenya that they will always arrange to come see the land. The person who called was a new person that Bramuel has not heard from before, so we remain really hopeful that the embassy will be able to provide the support needed to build.
Kind regards-

Update on the status of the Primary School

This is a volunteer run organization based in the United States that may be good to contact about partnering with your NGO to help the school. It looks like they provide support with fundraising and also volunteers on the ground.

I think it would be good to contact them and provide an introduction to Goodness and Mercy Missions to see if they might be able to partner with you.

From their website:
"Our aim is to raise money to build schools in rural Africa through our partner NGO Strategic Humanitarian Services (SHUMAS), Cameroon.
In addition to clean, hygienic and well-constructed classrooms, we aim to ensure clean drinking water and sanitation facilities are available at each of the schools we support, in order to help improve the health of the children."

Help compose a letter of intent

Step:

Recently, Bramuel visited the Japanese Embassy in Kenya to inquire about funding for the new hospital construction. The Embassy in turn sent a representative to visit the hospital. They were very impressed with the overall organization and invited Arrow Web Hospital to submit a letter of intent to the Embassy. If this goes well, they may then be invited to submit a full proposal.
For this task, we are looking for experienced writers who can work with Bramuel to compose the letter of intent. Here are two resources that may be useful to help you get started:

Hi everyone-I hope you are all having a good weekend. Bramuel and I spoke this morning, so I wanted to update regarding a few things:
Bramuel's computer at the hospital has apparently been infected by a virus. He has taken it to be repaired and his data is backed up, but he was told they may not be able to fix it. He should know more about that tomorrow. Hopefully they will be able to remove the virus and get it up and running again very soon. He had to go to the Internet Cafe to speak with me this morning.
