The reconstruction has started …

…at least in Sangachok, where the entire school building had to be levelled. Within walking distance of the former school, the government had already intended to erect a college in 2013, construction had started with the brickwork complete but stalled due to lack of money. During his visit in July 2015, Manfred Lindner inspected the partially complete building and decided to find out whether it could be completed to be used as the new school.

After some negotiations with the community of Sangachok about the usage of the building, the conveyance of property (land and partially complete building) was fixed. Thanks to the donations of NHB, work on completion of the building will start in March 2016. The ten classrooms will be finished by summer 2016 and the first pupils will move in from their temporary classrooms to their proper school.

By the way: the window and door frames of the old school which were undamaged were taken out of the ruined school and will be used in the new building. As soon as the administrative decision of the government gives the green light we will also start the reconstruction of the Jana Jagriti School.
