The school has been costed at £40,000 to build, the plan is to build five classrooms which will replace the current "school" in the village church. The modern school will be built by a local builder called Jack who has been involved in similar projects in the past. Foundations are being layed for the build, bricks will be made locally.
[edit] Endorsement
The charity has got much endorsement in recent weeks. Theo Walcott, an Arsenal and England Football (Soccer) Player has become involved, signing memorabilia - most of which is to be sold off to raise funds, whilst other bits will be given to the villagers.
As well as Walcott, the charity has been spotlighted by Private Eye editor and Have I Got News For You panellist Ian Hislop.
