Text Box: Resource Centre for Tyume Schools Our main priority for 2005 was to set up a Resource Centre for the Tyume Valley schools Amazingly, by the end of the year we had achieved our goal! The Resource Centre comprises a library, meeting/audio-visual room and an arts and crafts area Scheduled to Open on August 18th 2006 Our focus now is to develop the centre as a focal point for everyone in the Tyume Valley. The official opening will be while our volunteers are running the Summer Courses.

The centre will be important in the progress of the School Partnerships enabling the teachers and students to research and prepare projects. Access to email will also facilitate speedy communications and personal contact between teachers.
