July 24, 2009 - Caykisla

General

Bids for the supply of concrete and reinforcing steel were opened and a low bidder was awarded the supply contract. Seza Contracting says the supplier is reputable and capable of delivering the required quantities. All the reinforcing steel is on site.

Today I visited the Governor to request his assistance in accelerating the City’s commitment in bringing the new road to the site as was agreed. The current road is a village unpaved road with numerous potholes which for the concrete trucks is difficult to use. The Governor agreed to have it done before the end of the month. This will coincide with the first Concrete Placement Ceremony being scheduled by the Ministry on 30 July 2009.

All Donors are invited to attend this ceremony on Thursday 30 July at 10:30 AM at the construction site in the Village of Caykisla, Adapazari. The Governor Sayin Huseyin Atak, the State Education Manager, Murat Yazici and others will attend. Some speeches and lots of photographers on hand.

Funding

There is still a budget short fall of $7,500. All eight Named Classroom Dedications have been allocated. There is an un-named Dedication available for the Science Laboratory.

Please be as generous as you can so that all future “Updates” will focus only on construction progress and photos.

• Project Mission

  A devastating earthquake left many children from the villages of Caykisla, Seyh and Saricalar victimized and in many cases orphaned. These bright and eager children need a school where their young minds will develop to more fully realize their innate potential. The intent of this project is to build a new Primary School in the Village of Çaykişla by August 2009, the 10-year anniversary of the earthquake. To be part of this worthy effort is a debt due from our past to future generations.
