The Waiori Primary School is seeking financial assistance in order to refurbish two teacher’s houses that collapsed last year during the Christmas period due to strong easterly winds. A teacher’s wife and her 8 year old son almost lost their lives during the collapse. Deputy Head Teacher, Max Stibong said that for a month now the families of both teachers have been living without a home and so the school have come together with the village leaders to seek assistance for the refurbishment from the Abau District Development Authority because they have already been notified by the villagers. “The Abau DDA said they would have a meeting at Kalapa to discuss the matter but that has been postponed to a later date. The report has yet to reach the higher authorities.” He added that the matter has yet to reach the Provincial Education Division and the Abau District Disaster office. Meanwhile, Stibong has also confirmed that they have received their share of the Government Tuition Fee Subsidy. He says that they are now in the process of trying to access these funds to cater for school operations. The school and parents through a Parent-teacher conference thought of using the subsidy to refurbish the homes that were destroyed but later came to a consensus to leave the subsidy for school operations and focus on outsourcing funds for the refurbishment.
