PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The school lies at the meeting point of the hills with the southern plains (Terai). It was constructed from bamboo (tati) and tins 7 years ago. It is habitually flooded during the rainy season. The project was brought to the attention of HeNN by a former pupil at the school, Mr Narayan Ruwali.
Mr Ruwali said, “When the building is completed, there will be an innocent smile in the children in their first day while entering the classroom. My imploration is just up to this. I can see my childhood reflected in their face.”
