The purchase of the wonderful piece of land that I visited in July 2018 is ongoing! The Humane School will soon be able to move to their new location, stop paying a rent and build their future without fear of eviction.
Although mostly financed by an organizational donor, Friends of Waldorf Education, and the continuous efforts of Föreningen Sofia, the purchase of a plot wouldn't have been possible without the multitude of contributions from private individual donors like you ! Thank you! <3
The piece of land, a former coffee plantation farm, will be divided in two parts:
-The upper part (south part) where buildings can stand.
-The lower part (north part, closer to the water spring) ideal for growing fruits and vegetables.
The transaction process for the upper part is ongoing and The Humane School then has two years to gather more funds for buying the lower part.
More pictures of the plot in this previous blog post.
We can now focus our efforts towards:
- Funding the purchase of the lower part of the plot, including grants applications related to education in organic farming. (Donate through the GoFundMe campaign organised by our partner Föreningen Sofia)
- Funding the construction of the new school buildings, starting with Phase 1: Two kindergarten classrooms, a kitchen and dining hall. (Donate here!)
- Continue the participatory design of the new school coumponds and buildings. (Two volunteers from Sweden, an architect student and an engineer, are working on the plans after holding participatory design activities with the local teachers and parents).
Hurray!! The dream of a safe piece of land for the new school is becoming a reality!
