Summer Project to extend Rev. Hamid's house.
Rev. Hamid is a graduate of CLA and has worked up through the ranks to become Administrator of the school. The school provides him a house on the school compound. To the right of his house can be seen the secondary school building. The front of his house is facing the side of the new school building.	Immediately behind his house are additional classrooms which extend the entire back of the home. The addition is that portion that is above the car parked. This enabled him to have gain an extra bedroom as well as an office. He continues his theological studies as a RITS student. New school building can be seen to the left of his house in the distance across a small road called Loorweg.
	School rooms are both beneath and to the back of his home.

There are still a few more details

As mentioned in the opening page, there are still some debts to be paid off (see main page). Additionally, there are a number of projects left around the school, one of which is the need to replace the fence around the property. In order to accomplish this, the school enlisted the help of the students to have a car wash to help raise the funds necessary to replace the fence. This is but one example of how the principle of self-support is again back in play after the help provided to get over the major hurdle of rebuilding after the fire.

Christian Liberty Academy, Paramaribo, Suriname Car Wash, September 30, 2005 Project aimed at raising funds to rebuild fence around school.

This is the last page of the report on the two and one-half year rebuilding project which began immediately after the fire in March 2003 and was largely completed by September 2005. We will be placing some pictures of the inside of the building in the near future as they come to us. There is still work to be done, but not on a major scale at this point. Pray with us for the total elimination of the school's debt so that it may again be back to being a totally self-supporting school. You can see the details of that on the first page by clicking below "Return to main page."

Pray also that God will continue to use the school to bring the Gospel to hundreds of children each year, most of whom are either nominal Christians or non-Christians.
