More good news! We were delighted to receive a message last month saying that the school has reopened, three months earlier than we had expected, under the direction of the school head teacher, a local lady. Two of sisters, Maureen and Perpetua are back in Addis Abeba.

We understand that the school re-opened with the overall support and supervision of the Parish Priest, and that all the teachers and classroom assistants have returned. 105 children have registered which is almost two thirds of the former school complement. They are deeply grateful for the support the Trust has given over the last two years.

We must remain cautious, since the roads remain blocked, and Eritrean soldiers are still present around Dawhan. People are having a hard time moving about along the road to Adigrat to get things and to get access to money as the banks are not working yet in Dawhan.
