St Mary`s is a lively community

We do a lot of great work
![Page 6: St Marys Belize City](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102700/5484770cb4af9faf528b4697/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But our school is in bad shape
![Page 7: St Marys Belize City](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102700/5484770cb4af9faf528b4697/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Parts of the structure are crumbling
• Water has penetrated the cement
• In places the rebar is visible
• Some patching has been done but this has not solved the problems
• The internal stairs are potentially dangerous
![Page 8: St Marys Belize City](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102700/5484770cb4af9faf528b4697/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Gutters and downpipes are inadequate
• Downpipes run directly into the courtyard, there are no under-floor drains to carry the water away
• Gutters are collapsing and no longer function, allowing water to penetrate the building
![Page 9: St Marys Belize City](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102700/5484770cb4af9faf528b4697/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The toilet block is wholly inadequate
![Page 10: St Marys Belize City](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102700/5484770cb4af9faf528b4697/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Drinking water in the courtyard
• This courtyard tap is the only source of drinking water for the children
• The surrounding area floods as there is no drain
• The whole area is subject to mould and damp and is clearly unsatisfactory

Paintwork is shabby and peeling
