I am very happy and I want to thank the donor who provided us with this building. If we didn’t have a new school, all the children around here would live in ignorance. Even though this school was built in this village, children come from as far as 2 km or 3 km away to study here. If this school hadn’t been built, those children wouldn’t be going to school. Most of the villagers around here are very pleased because their children will be able to become literate. This new building has encouraged villagers and neighbors to take an interest in and clean around the school. More parents are also sending their children to school. We all expect that in the future, our children will get educated and have an easier time finding a job. |
