Well, what a strange few months we have all experienced. We are sending you all healthy and positive vibes as we make our way through this pandemic together. The Valley where Kushadevi and Balchandra schools reside are back into a strict lockdown this month as cases across each of the communities have rise sharply. We are sending them our very best wishes and thinking of them at this difficult time.
Apart from the obvious risks of contracting the Coronavirus the impact of lockdown is immeasurable and will have knock-on affects for probably years to come. Not only are the schools and business closed but crops have been left unattended, many badly damaged by locusts this year and flooding has damaged the roads and school playground at Kushadevi School. Children and parents have been at home, many without internet connection and access to smart phones as we have here, so don’t have the ability to conduct home learning as easily.
However - thanks to your amazing donations, not only here on GlobalGiving but also the fantastic support of the Milford Primary School community we have ensured that for families in the valley every child who attends the schools has worked with our teaching staff on a weekly basis throughout Lockdown. They have been provided with sanitation packs and masks, and participated in workshops learning how to stay safe and reduce the risk. They have also had home learning packs, stationary and mobile teaching support from our staff. Non of this possible without your help. So thank you. ‘Dhanyabhad’.
What a difference you have made to ensure the wellbeing of our staff and students, and make sure there will be no detrimental gaps in learning. Our staff and children will be ready for school as soon as they can be re-opened, and you have made that happen.
The outreach work is continuing and will do so until everyone is back in school. You were amazing in your help to make it happen. Thank you.
