At that meeting with brainstorming as their agenda, the four discussed about the school plans and fundraising activities. By May, 2003, the group had increased to ten. The new members to the board were Frazier Nyasulu, MacMillan Dalla, Sophie Nyasulu, Sheila Mkandawire, Alexander Mkandawire and Selina Mkandawire.
