A visit prompted by the school
The August 2026 account begins with a teacher asking the Metropolitan to visit Kitisi Primary School after the blessing of the village’s new borehole. The school’s condition then became the subject of an appeal. This places the project’s beginning in a local request and a specific visit.
The teacher described a leaking roof, missing doors and windows, and needs for classroom furniture. The visit grew out of the nearby water project at Saint Stylianos church and led to a further effort centred on the school's learning environment.

The purpose is the school’s continuing work
Repairing a school supports the daily work of pupils and teachers. A sound roof, usable classroom openings and appropriate furniture are part of a learning environment; they become meaningful through the lessons, play and relationships that continue there. The project belongs within the Church’s wider cooperation with schools and families.
The project follows the response to the teacher's request through the renovation work. Enquiries can name Kitisi Primary School and ask about current priorities as the school continues its life after the building improvements.
