Big celebrations at Manjushree

The long awaited new Academic Building is finally finished

Dr Kazuko and her friends attended the grand inauguration

Until now the classrooms were located in huts constructed from recycled pallets with a tin roof.  When it rained on the tin roof the noise made it impossible to teach and, with no sound proofing between the classrooms, with noisy little ones next door it was often difficult for the older children to hear their teacher.   It was always cold in the old classrooms too, with concrete floors and draughty doors and windows.

Now the children have classrooms well-suited to gaining a good education.  Teaching methods, however, are still book-based and delivered on a chalk board.
