The Land:

The land Beehive School has acquired is called “plot no C 19 in Katoto 2 area”. Beehive has a 99 year lease on the land. The plot is big – roughly 150 x 170m. It is next to a little stream, which could help with the building and science/nature projects. Below is a rough sketch. North is up, road runs along this line, up to Mzuzu downtown, down to a village called Kaboko. More details will come after the land is surveyed and plot markers have been placed in the corners.

The image below is a satellite picture of the area, and roughly where the plot is in relation to the town. Click here to interact with the area on google maps.

Building Plans:

Niall Dorey’s good friend in England, Rowan Haysom, is an excellent architect and has very kindly offered to design the school free of charge! He is South African, but practices architecture at a firm in the UK. We will have more details about the land and school design soon!

Niall Dorey received a letter today from the Lands Dept offering Beehive School a nice biggish plot of land for the school! This comes after many applications, fees, and frustration, and we are very excited to finally have a place to build the school!!!
