Investigating Starting a Second Orbus Primary School: Orbus Chingale, in a remote area approximately 3-4 hours' drive north of Orbus Ngumbe. The proposal is that we start by building a well, to obtain water for local brick making, then start small with a teacher's house, and a two-classroom building and see where God leads us. Site visit and community meeting with Synod leaders and Caleb Manners July 2026. It would be a Synod school, on land owned by the Synod, but the government would run it as a fee free government school under the Synod's control/oversight.
