A number of you have asked about the latest on the building of the community centre. For those who don't know Asha Trust has been raising money in order to build a fit for purpose community centre in the heart of Athidiya, Presently the local team opperate from a small one room ''centre'' which is the downstairs of a small house. In order to grow the work and have a greater impact the team have been dreaming of a new centre.
We bought the land about a year ago now and since then have been battling with various bits of officialdom.
However , we think we are about there now. During our trip I spent half a day arranging a letter from a lawyer which we hope is the last document we need,
Our every so positive architect , Chinthaka, has now submitted all documents to the loacl council for approval. So all being well we hope the build will start in May!!
At this point the building will be usable and we can take our time resourcing it and developing the programmes and activities .This is all very exciting !
A big thanks to everyone that has join us in enabling this to happen.
We still need to raise about 10K to complete the building as planned and still fundriseing
We are planning a 50 Mile cycle ride on 7th May along the river lea. We ran it last year and it was such a great day. If interested please contact me on info@ashatrust.co.uk.
