Improvements made to Besh Kapa Surkh School

By Mia Buchsbaum | Executive Director

Like most schools our buildings periodically need repairs to keep them in good condition so the students have nice and clean buildings to come to for school. Our buidlings are primarily built out of cement and bricks so overtime cracks tend to appear in the walls and in the ceilings. Recently it was decided that it was time for Besh Kapa to have some minor repairs done.

Workers were highered to come in and make repairs to the cracks in the structure of the building and put a fresh coat of paint on everything. Thankfully no major repairs were needed to seal the cracks that had developed overtime. With only 351 students currently enrolled in the school there was enough space for both students and workers to be in and around the building at the same time. 

In recent months we've seen many students drop out of school that were enrolled at Besh Kapa due to safety concerns from parents. We're hoping that as the threat of violence continues to die down in the area that students will begin to return to their studies and we will see enrollment slowly creep back up. However that doesn't mean that the students that are currently enrolled are not being supported, books and stationary supplies were recently purchased to support the teachers and students since Besh Kapa has classes going through out the summer months. We have also been holding meetings with the parents in the community to find out what can be done to support the students more and will be taking their feedback and using it to continuously improve our programs.

 

Classes will be resuming at Mullah Karim in early September so stay tuned for an update about our students returning from summer break!
