When it rains, the students move to first floor

The roof above the second floor is leaking. That's why, these students have to share their classroom with older students from the second floor.

In Congo, it is the rainy season. Therefore, it rains quite frequently. So, the roof leaks quite frequently. And the classes are combined quite frequently, so that students are kept dry.

That's what life is like the Elementary School 1 and Elementary School 2 of the Gare School. The school 1 meets in the morning and school 2 meets in the afternoon.

Where is the Gare School located? It is located downtown just off of the main boulevard (June 30th) in the capital city of Kinshasa.

Oh, I forgot to say, there are two rainy seasons in Congo.

Finding enough money to fix the roof was the topic of discussion for my second meeting of the day.
