S.O.S

What started out as a warm and memorable welcome to Chalnakhel Hattiban School by the students yesterday ended up on a sad note when we saw that the class one students had no desks and had to work on the cold cement floor.  We are hoping that there is someone or a group of people who would like to make a real difference in 19 children's lives by donating the funds to buy six desks, each desk holds four children.  Cheaper wooden desks cost $37 each for a total of $222.00 or better iron and wood desks are $76 each for a total of $456.  The more expensive desks, of course, last longer.
Either one is going to make a difference in their school lives, not only for these children but also those that follow on.  Photos of the classroom and Ridhika an NEF sponsored child in the class.

Hi Susan, just wondering if any desks were donated and what happened at this school?
