KAUDWANE EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT

After lots of hard work from our trusted architects, we are very happy to announce that the Kwengeng District Council has granted us a building permission based on the plans handed in by Moralo Designs. The next steps will be to engage a Quantity Surveyor in order to break down the exact costs and continue our fundraising in Germany. #Library #Construction #Kaudwane

Following the post from the 25th October 2018, we have now officially received the donation from the "Bazarrennen" at the Nymphenburger School in Munich.

We are extraordinarily proud to announce that we were able to "win" 33%!!! of the donation money at the yearly "Bazarrennen" at the Nymphenburger School in Munich. Revisiting his old school, Max took part in the Bazarrennen competition of 2018.

The first steps have been taken, the preliminary design phase is complete! After initiating the cooperation with Ms Mathe and Moralo Designs, we are now on step further down the road.

After close cooperation with a German architect firm who were willing to provide us with the architectural plans as a donation in kind, we are proud to present the first draft of construction plans. The library is supposed to provide space for between 30-40 people at a time. The roofed area outside of the building also provides a shaded space for quite reading and learning. We are now going to present this plan to responsible local ministry to get the permission for the build

We are proud to announce that today the "Kaudwane Education & Development" association was founded.

In the beginning of May, Maximilian and Gilles made their first trip to Kaudwane, Botswana in order to meet the country and especially the Kaudwane community.

Max und Gilles were amazed by the friendliness and open-mindedness of the people in Botswana and the direct, full, constructive cooperation with the Kaudwane community members.
