School for the blind Lichtenegg, Chautara

Not only the Shree Bandevi Secondary School was opened by Erwin Stix on 28th November 2010, but the foundation stone of the Blindenschule Lichtenegg in Chautuara was also laid. Franz Rennhofer, major of Lichtenegg, travelled to Nepal to demonstrate  the solidarity of his town with the population of Nepal.

A school for 20-30 blind pupils from the whole district is due to be built next year. Sleeping quarters and a kitchen are to be included so that pupils from faraway villages also have the chance to go to this school. The necessary financial support is provided by the Nepalhilfe Beilngries - Lichtenegg.

Building is due to start in mid-2011, when the building of the Shree Bandevi Secondary School, which is currently being built next door to the site of the school for the blind, has been completed. An ambitious project!

Progress of construction work Oct. 2011

Bei einem Besuch am 30.12.2011 konnten sich die Vorstände Ralf Petschl und Manfred Lindner, zusammen mit ihren Ehefrauen vom Baufortschritt der Blindenschule überzeugen. Der engagierte Bauunternehmer war zuversichtlich, den Bau bis zum Sommer 2012 zu vollenden. Die derzeit 12 blinden Schüler sind schon voller Vorfreude, in das neue Gebäude umziehen zu können.
