School building

Our future requires reliable investments

As the price of land – and thus the rents as well – are constantly on the rise, renting schoolrooms is a very uncertain matter. Additionally, the school rooms were very small, meaning that the classes had small numbers of participants who could not be taught efficiently. All of this led us to think about how the situation might be improved for a more sustainable future.

Land and a building of our own

Since 2007 the process of purchase and construction have been under way. This had to be done step-by-step. The time-lines and budgeting methods that are done in Switzerland did not bring us any closer to our goals.

The search for property went well, and thanks to contributions from Switzerland the land could be bought. This also means that the Sunshine School has fewer worries about climbing land and property prices. Even more importantly, this has promise to be a secure investment in the future.

In 2011 the house is completed

Our students are now being taught in the new schoolhouse. Though windows must still be installed, this will be done over the course of the year.
