S4S Update: 2nd Girls Dorm at Gulu High

The walls of Gulu High School's second IC-built girls dormitory are getting higher and higher with each passing day

Last month S4S signed the contract for the second phase of construction of a new girls dormitory at Gulu High School.  The winning contractor is now on site and making rapid progress; walls are rising from the recently finished foundations.   This project will utilize most of the funds raised for Gulu High from last year’s S4S tour.

The new dormitory will stand side by side with the existing girls dormitory completed under Round 2, with a third dormitory planned for 2010!  When complete, the three new buildings will provide safe and modern living facilities for 576 female students.  These dormitories have become S4S signature projects in the region, raising the bar for secondary school development in the North.

For those of you fundraising on the behalf of Gulu High, keep up the efforts—the girls are eager to move in!
