Since we first started building the school in 2009, we have never been able to erect a proper fence. Our neighbour, Deborah has been very understanding – despite balls flying everywhere!
Gradually the school has grown and the number of children playing with balls in the playground has also grown! Deborah has been incredibly patient, watching footballs, netballs, volleyballs constantly come over the boundary into her garden.
Of course, where balls go, children follow. They would madly dash across her garden, trampling plants and crops in their hurry to collect the ball, despite our best attempts to prevent them. She wins all awards for her amazing patience!
Finally, we have been able to erect a section of chainlink fence to ensure that errant balls no longer trespass on her land. Hopefully her banana and bean plants can now grow unhindered…
