Latest Update from the Field
News from our project
By Pamela Lee - Donor Development Officer, August 06, 2008 04:00 PM
Due to the snowstorm and Sichuan earthquake in China, the progress of this project (Pingzi Primary School Reconstruction Project) was seriously affected. As estimated, the project will be completed in Sept 2008 instead of March 2008. Our programme colleague has visited the project site in July this year and noticed that the following items of the project have already completed in April, they include:
- A concrete-integrated school building of 196 m2 with 4 classrooms and 2 staff rooms.
- A squat toilet with 4 stalls
- Smoothed playground with planting
Students will be studying in this new-reconstructed school in the coming Sept this year.
The newly-reconstructed school building and its facilities could enable 60 school children in Gaoqiao Township of Daguan Country. To study in safe and stable environment to better equip themselves for lifting out from poverty.
