A Classroom Renewed at Landegama

Dear Donors,

We’re happy to report that we’ve made significant progress in the months since our last update. Our focus has been on the renovation of a classroom building at the school. The renovation involved a great deal of work. While the structure of the building was sound, we completely replaced the damaged and rotten roof of the 60 foot by 20 foot building. The interior of the building was also redone, with new sturdy flooring to replace the old worn down brickwork, new doors, re-painted walls and surfaces, repaired wiring, and the installation of six fans. In addition to the renovation, we also commissioned a new sign for the school’s entrance, to reflect the school’s pride and renewal. Thanks to all the improvements at the school, the principal was also able to secure government funding to pave the road that leads to the school.

As usual, we hired local contractors to do the building renovation, and they were happy to help a rural school. Members from the community also joined in on the effort, helping dismantle and transport the old roof tiles away from the construction site. This work would not be possible without your generous donations, as well as the help of our primary contact at Landegama who has helped steer these projects on the ground, and of course the cooperation of the school’s administration.

We’re delighted to see another chapter finished at Landegama. The school will now be able to serve the community with the appropriate capacity for the village, and a safe environment for the children. We’re looking forward to the next big project – construction of new toilets to ensure sanitation and health at the school.

Thank you again for your continued support of this vital work. Please enjoy these pictures, until next time.
