In July, leaders and volunteers from Achieve in Africa traveled to Tanzania and visited Olasiti village outside of Arusha, in northern Tanzania, and Ulolela village outside of Mbinga in southern Tanzania. 

   While in Olasiti village, volunteers renovated seven classrooms by reinforcing the base of the walls with cement to avoid flooding, digging trenches to route rainwater away, and painting the outside of the classrooms. Achieve in Africa volunteers also repaired a damaged classroom

that was unusable by replacing the concrete 

floor, fixing cracked walls, and repainting the classroom inside and out.

   Our focus now is to provide Olasiti village with a Secondary School. The village has managed to build two classrooms from money raised by taxes; however, additional funding is critically needed. So far, we have also funded the construction of two classrooms and a small office. But, four classrooms is not enough to accommodate all student. Twenty additional classrooms and 32 bathrooms are needed to complete the school. The cost of a classroom is $10,000 and the cost of a bathroom is $500.
