Hle Bee's ever improving building

Mon Sein showed Geoff the impressive water purification system, which was installed last year and which he manages. He's Thazin's brother and the tuk tuk driver/janny. Here you can see Mon Sein's new house. He lived in the demolished tuck shop. It's a bit like a gatehouse now because they've built a gate to secure the school site. You can see it on the left of the picture below.

Last year, we watched them build the teachers' house on the right. It's finished now but the teachers are all new, we don't know any of them.

A new wee house has been built for headteacher Thazin and for Wei Hei, her niece. The tuk tuk is parked in front of it.

The building at the back is the one that had its leaf roof blown off in the storm and has been rebuilt with a metal roof and made bigger.

Better shot of the gate which slides along.

Finally, Dr Elisabetta had just had 2 bags of rice delivered to cook for the children's meals. Hard times continue at Hle Bee. Mon Sein told us, 'No curry, only rice.'
