Rupamari School Building work urgently required
Rupamari School and grounds are well used throughout the year not only for teaching purposes but also for community events to celebrate Festivals, such as Christmas and Easter and to entertain visitors.
Since the school was built in 2016 the forecourt/playground area has remained unconcreted. It is not difficult to imagine the catastrophic scenes which are witnessed at high tide and during the monsoon season which causes flash flooding. The dry soil soon becomes a boggy mess leaving this area unusable for some time.
A request for help
These heavy rains are washing away the mud and consequently causing a worrying decrease in the ground level.
The request from Pastor Piyal is for financial assistance to concrete the entire forecourt to stop this from happening, therefore enabling this area to continue to be used even after heavy rains.
As well as this major work, the building itself is in need of some minor repair work. Some of the bamboo walls need replacing and the newly built children’s toilet block requires painting.
