Trustees Carol Groves and Shirley
Fisher returned to Unity School, Mombasa in January 2019. A supporter Jan
Watson also went with them.
During the last two years (thanks to
a generous legacy) a new building with 5 classrooms and toilet blocks has been under
construction. The new building, now complete and ready for the pupils to occupy,
had its official opening during our visit.
It was a very special day with celebrations all round. The pupils and teachers had a lovely meal,
thanks to the Contractor who picked up the bill. Dr Luke and his wife, plus the parents
association and someone from the educational department all took part in the
celebrations. It was a very special day
and one that we will never forget.

Carol’s Blog – 19th January 2019
We have had a busy few days in Mombasa and also at Unity School. We had a productive meeting with our Contractor who hands over the new building on Thursday, when we will have an official opening. The new classrooms are spacious and cool, and the new toilet blocks have 8 toilets and washbasins in the girls and boys blocks. Tomorrow we are taking 90 pupils, 8 teachers and us 3 to Fort Jesus for a school outing. We had a meeting with Dr Luke who looks after the medical care of all pupils and he and his wife will be attending the official opening. More soon.

Back at school we did more volumes of prisms- using some the girders from the new roof as examples, Then singing again, ready for Thursday’s prayer day with grade 8.
