Shree Mahakali Higher Secondary School : 1 Nov 2011

Today Ross, Helen, Bruce, Manoj Lama & I, NAFA members & supporters, visited Shree Mahakali School to see the progress of the classrooms and to meet the teachers and students. 

There are FOUR classrooms, on the second level, currently being built ...   

... (picture above) the TWO on the left (4 windows) have been funded by the District Development Corporation (DDC), a Community/Government organisation, and the TWO on the right, plus the stairwell, have been funded by the $5,000 Grant won in July from Sunsuper (plus extra funds from NAFA).  

The two Sunsuper/NAFA funded classrooms under construction.



The students who came to welcome us.

Unfortunately it was a public holiday but the Principal and a group of teachers and students came to meet us and welcome us.  The students presented us with beautiful hand made flower malas ... made us feel very special :)

We were so impressed by the Principal, the teachers and the students who were there.  The Principal is very dedicated to his school and providing quality education ... he has been Principal for more than 15 years.  Over 500 students attend the school from 9 wards and there are 19 teachers in total ... 4 women and 15 men.

Five of the Teachers

There is a Child Club and an Eco Club ... both run entirely by the students and doing great work at the school.  There is also a computer room with 18 computers and the school has access to internet as well.

The Principal told us the story of how the school evolved which was really interesting to hear ... pre-classrooms the teachers taught under the big tree in the school yard.
 
We told them about Sunsuper and the Dream and how NAFA was able to win the Grant for their school with massive support and votes from people all over the world ... they were very happy and very appreciative for the help from Sunsuper and NAFA members and supporters.

They are planning to have an opening of the classrooms sometime after February 2012 and NAFA members are hoping to attend. 

After our visit to this School, I was even more happy that we were able to win the $5000 Grant to help the School's dream to come true :)
