The Renovation of the Library Building
The renovation of the library building is already in full swing.
With their own resources, the community has built a paved walkway and a staircase to the building. Without this path, the uneven and rocky terrain would have made access particularly difficult for older people.
The children’s area
The children’s area has also been added by the community. Inside, it still looks quite raw and uninviting. In September, we will paint the walls in a cheerful color, lay down carpet flooring, and enhance the space for greater comfort. We are excited to see the before-and-after transformation.
Above the children’s area, a bamboo extension has been added, but its use is still undecided. The stones needed for the renovation were manually transported from the river in the village to the building, then polished and installed by the community.
The computer room
The computer room is still under renovation. The small building was quite dilapidated, but it didn’t need to be completely torn down; it was still stable enough to build upon. Here, you can see Sushil and the community leader Rajendra discussing the future computer room.
We have also secured 8–10 laptops from the Swiss aid organization Labdoo. These laptops will be equipped by Labdoo with numerous training programs, a version of LibreOffice, and an offline version of Wikipedia from the SOS Children’s Village, allowing them to be used directly in English.
Handmade tables
We received a video from our team member Sushil, where the community leader Rajendra proudly showcases his handmade wooden tables. Simple but practical! These will be the breakfast tables with a beautiful view for his future guests at his guesthouse, where we will also be staying while working on-site.
It’s so wonderful to see how everything is gradually taking shape and our efforts are paying off. Thanks to countless donors, our progress has been made possible.
We thank everyone who believes in our dream!”
