@Austin Hello Austin; that is great to hear! I understand, yes, it is a low cost project, but it will help a lot to gain momentum and seek more funding in the future to make it a long term project. Thanks a lot for the work you and team have done, I am very grateful for this and I will state that the school was started by Manifund and Benjamin, I am truly amazed; please let me know if I can contribute with something in the future. Best regards!
