Fundame's cement flooring work has been completed. Four classrooms, an office, store, covered walkway, and the schools outdoor reading and meeting area all have a fresh smooth layer of cement.
In total, the flooring's area is 332 sq meters. Believe me that's a lot of cement. We went through three 8 cubic meter trucks of aggregate and over 270 bags of Portland cement. It looks great, and it will be there with little maintenance for decades to come. Well worth its 5,000 dollar price tag.

Hello Cien. I contacted you a few months ago about my daughter using some of your photos in her FCCLA Chapter Service Project "Ethiopia Reads". I can't find my original email so I hope it's ok I write to you here; I wanted to give you an update... She was able to raise $183.00 at school (not much, but it's not a big school), she placed at Regionals in January and she will be taking her project to State April 11-13. Hopefully she will go on to Nationals.
