Unfortunately it now seems very unlikely that the move to the new school premises can be made in time for the new school term. This is because parents of children who attend the school have expressed their concern about sending them to the new building at this time. In recent weeks there
has been quite a lot of activity by Union of Islamic Courts fighters in the countryside around Beled-Weyne. This has even included a raid into the town on the night of 6th-7th March. The parents feel that for the time being their children will be safer continuing 
their schooling in the rented premises which are in the centre of the town as this avoids the 
risks inherent in travelling to school and back along a road which is on the outskirts of the town.
Needless to say this is a disappointemnt but it is nothing like the blow it would be to hear that some harm had come to either children or staff. So we must bear it patiently, make sure that everything is done to complete the outstanding 
work which is mentioned in yesterday's blog and hope and pray for better conditions in which it will
be possible to relocate to the new premises in safety. We're now thinking in terms of the move being made during the July-August break between school years.
