Today, we went back to Grand Bay to do our second school there – Grand Bay Primary School. It’s quite a large primary school and we had been given 30 computers to install, plus all the cabling and switching.

Our usual bus driver had to take the day off today so we went in a different bus from the Ministry. We managed to squeeze all the kit and ourselves in and set off for a hard day of installation.

Once we arrived, the bus was unloaded and we began the next leg of the project. The school have had some new desks fitted with columns dropping down from the ceiling so the gang decided to run the cables down the inside of the columns and along the ceiling back to the switches – not the easiest of cabling runs.

Another drawback was that the electrical points have not yet been installed in the room so Scott and I would have to test the computers one by one from an extension lead running from the rather affectionately termed ‘Socket of Death!’

We cracked on and despite a few little problems, we got the room cabled and put the computers in place ready for the electrical work to be done.

Then it was back in the bus for a quick drive back to HQ through the scenery of southern Dominica.

Another installation of 30 computers tomorrow, see you again soon
