Summer 2014

July 22, 2014

Our summer holidays started with fun and busy with all the construction work. We all were busy shifting the furniture’s, books one room to another room. All the smaller boys helped me to clean and setting the rooms. Bigger boys did washing and cleaning of all the plastic chairs, moving the heavy furniture and they even repaired the wooden desk and chairs.
Finally with all the hard works the construction was finished on right time (just a week before reopening the school after long summer holiday).

This summer holidays children did not have much outing because of constructions work, but they all have enjoyed each day cooking different food like pizza, pasta and a lot of Indian snacks. They did the wall painting, played lots of indoor game. Thank You Maria for all the joy you bring for the children.

Now the school is opened after long summer holidays, we all are back to our old routine. The rainy season has started and more relief from the terrible heat.

Here are the lists of works we have done

• Renovate the ground floor classes which were in bad condition due to moisture.
• Replaced the old electric wire, switchboards and lights (which were damaged by the rain)
• Fix the wall with tiles and waterproof paints which will long last and protect the walls from moisture.
• Replaced the entire wooden windows, and installed the aluminum sliding windows.
• Build the toilet for teachers, toilets for children and hand washing area.
• Build a new kitchen and covered the rooftop area.
