The construction of a new school in Mavue is in full swing. Thanks to the Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park and the Community Development Program the African children will soon be getting their education at a modern facility.
The construction of the school started in Aril 2011 and it should be completely finished by July of this year. To this point the children were being educated in very poor conditions– a small room with clay walls, no benches or chairs. However, this will all change soon and the children in Mozambique will have all new facilities and equipment that is required for education.
Not only European volunteers are taking part in the project, there are also local residents, who appreciate not just the construction of their school, but also the opportunity of earning an income.
The school complex will comprise of three main buildings, where two largest ones will be primarily used for education. The third connecting building will serve as a gym and its premises will also be used for example to organize various school activities and various performances. The standalone building is intended to serve as accommodation facilities for teachers. The school will also host volunteer teachers from Europe.
About Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park
Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park spans across Mozambique and is one of the largest private African parks. It neighbors and fluently ties into the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe. The primary objective for the Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park is to protect the natural wealth preserved in the area that is practically untouched by humans. Another integral activity of this park is a sensitive, sustainable and long term development of local communities.
Park activities focus on the construction of schools, hospitals, healthcare facilities, water reservoirs or the development of local infrastructure. All these steps are taken with utmost consideration for the environment while respecting the pristine state and beauty of this area.
Currently Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park is looking for other companies, which would get involved in the Community Development Program and help with financing of other planned projects.
