The villagers in Mhangeni, Africa. faced a very big challenge(挑战).They didn’t have a school for their kids.

Then the village elder thought of an i1．. He said that there was an old, abandoned (废弃的)farmhouse. It could be changed into classrooms after cleaning and furnishing(装设备)it. All the villagers were p2．with his suggestion and started the project immediately

The parents repaired the broken walls. Some villagers d3．the house into three classrooms by using pieces of wood. The others helped make desks and chairs for the students. Still, there was much more work to do. But the rains were coming. They had to s4．working for the school as it was now the best time for them to plant.

So the children of Mhangeni decided to finish the house by t5．.They had to hurry as summer had ended and other schools had already opened.   They didn’t want to delay(耽搁) their studies. Everv day they were busy with cutting the grass and clearing the bushes(灌木).

The news about the porject s6．and many people knew it. Two teachcrs who worked for the country’s Department of  Education arrived to help out. and two foreign visitors were also touched (感动) by the children’s a7．.They donated money for them to buy textbooks and stationery.

After 10 days of hard work, the new school was r8．.The kids were very happy but a bit worried—they were behind in their studies.

Besides(除…之外)this, they also faced many d9．.There were not enough classrooms to hold all the students. And two or three students had to share one book.

However, the children are happy to study in school—e10．in their new school which they helped to build. Though their school might not be modern, their dream of having a school near their homes has come true.
