The past two years have also been the first in the existence of EPF Malanje, with new buildings, teachers’ council and students. The first team, which started in August 2007, began their studies in temporary accommodation as the school buildings were not completed till spring 2008. Even the “We Continue Constructing Our School” period was carried out in the temporary accommodation. 
Also on the agenda was building our reputation by showing the local communities what our school is about. The school held a great many community events, with topics such as malaria and the environment. Students have also conducted cleaning campaigns in local communities, cultural events, activities with the elderly, including distributing used clothes from the Netherlands. Students have also mobilized the communities we work in through theatre, dance and discussions on important issues such as HIV, poverty, unemployment and corruption.
