Rehabilitation of Robonka School
The community in Robonka, Sierra Leone built their own school but when the SHF delegation, including Noel O’Keeffe, archtectural technician from PM, visited the school two years ago it was in very poor repair. On Noel’s recommendation it was decided to rehabilitate the building rather than replace it completely as most of the structure was sound.
We’re happy to report that this project has now commenced.
The happy community hears the news
