With the assistance of George Watson College, £4,500 was raised to pay for the repairs to Markha Valley School and to support the Lingshed Area Children’s Hostel development. This included £500 for purchasing a new computer for the Hostel. George Watson College sent a team of pupils to work alongside the Markha villagers for three days. They assisted in the construction of a new school roof, repairing the veranda, clearing an outside play area, and building stepping stones and pathways for the children to get to their classrooms and latrines with dry feet.
