Village Meeting
Kpakuma Village meets to discuss the new school
Sahn Primary School

Kpakuma village is located northeast of Bo, the second largest town in Sierra Leone.

The people are very excited about building a new school for their children and have already started to assembled rocks and sand for the construction process.

The funds for building this school are coming from the August 2009 fundraising events held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. 

Groundbreaking ceremonies were held early in October 2009, with construction begining soon after. 

Opening Ceremonies were held February 18, 2010. 
More photos coming Soon!
