Construction and Roads
2011
November
 The grant application for the construction of a girl’s hostel to Miseain Cara was submitted this week and thanks to John's perseverance and tenacity the title deeds included; it is hard to believe that it has taken 2 years to get a document like this.
February
 Catherine, a committee member and architect has submitted her latest plan for a hostel, catering for up to 120 girls. This will be on the site of the secondary school in Chimteka. Some girls have to travel up to 12 kms to get to school and arrangements to put them up have been unsatisfactory to date. There are so few plans for girls hostels it will be great to have a design that could potentially be replicated by other organizations or a “model” hostel. The plan has general agreement and is currently being submitted for costing. The Dineen Chimteka trust, set up by parents of Woldingham school pupils in England, in honour and memory of the founder of CCS, Dr Phil Dineen Riordan, has most generously raised funds to facilitate this project.

Chimteka II Junior Primary School
 This Primary has been recently built by the Scottish Charity, "Eleven to 1" and comprises 4 classrooms.
A Quotation was supplied by 2 local carpenters to build 35 benches
The Full Primary School
 The renovated classrooms

In the Full primary school, two of the classroom blocks (4 classrooms) have been renovated by CCS with the walls painted and minor repairs to concrete floors. Accessibility to the classrooms has been improved with the installation of ramps. The remaining 3 classroom blocks (6 classrooms) are in the process of being renovated by CCS; all need painting and accessibility improved, plus 4 of the classrooms need minor repairs to the concrete floor. The Standard 6 classroom had previously been utilised as a girls hostel but this is no longer the case with pupils from further afield finding lodgings within Chimteka Trading Centre. There is great need for a girls' hostel to be built.
There are 220 extra desks are to be built for the classrooms, pending quotations.

Teachers' Houses
 These have been built by CCS to house the 4 new teachers for the new Primary School. This was part of the negotiation CCS had with the government to obtain the teachers.







Volunteer Houses
The plan of the volunteer house shows housing for 4 potential residents. It was finished in February 2010 and will serve for accommodation for our volunteers during the working week. It is situated in the centre of Chimteka, as shown on the map.
Chiosya Clinic
1 2
1. Chiosyia Health clinic serves a population of about 25,000 people.
2. The already fragile and inadequate structure has been devastated by storms.
There is great need for extension and improvement of these circumstances. CCS is engaged in talks with the Malai government to this end and in applying for grants from Irish agencies to fund same.

Maize Mill
Another building put up by CCS where villagers mill the maize they grow.
