Ted Bosveld and the team from ‘Villages of Life’ have already constructed orphanages, schools, a medical clinic and a fish farm in Burundi in East Africa.
Now the group is planning to ship a 40 foot container filled with materials to help build the school, which is expected to be up and running next year.
“It’s about training these guys up to then set them up to get a job in their community or elsewhere. Education is the key to releasing people from poverty,” Mr Bosveld said.
