The following is an extract from one of the letters from the headmistress of Befole Primary School in which she describes the current situation at the school.
“Befole Primary School in the mountain areas of Lesotho is an area lacking social services. Now it has a roll of 255 pupils aged from 6 to 17 years old, seven teachers all government paid, our dilapidated block housing accommodates only three upper classes 5, 6 & 7. Our furniture was damaged during the first building destruction. The rest of the pupils are conducted in the open air. We use to send them home during bad weather conditions. There is no housing for teachers, no classrooms, kitchen, storeroom, chairs for teachers, chalkboards.
