The Reverend Madula Damela, the principal of the Gorobe Street school in Badili, approached Chris Smith for assistance in providing school desks for his new school.  The school at present is housed in the local church but land has been identified for the school and building should begin soon.  Chris put a proposal for 40 double desks to the Committee and they approved it.  Ernie Lohberger built the desks and they were delivered in mid December, much to the delight of the pastor and the children.  A small presentation ceremony took place on Wednesday 23rd December, 2009 and Chris and his desk assembler, Robin attended.  The pastor held a small service and expressed his sincere gratitude to Rotary for its assistance.
