ROHINI SCHOOL - A CASE STUDY
Like many small schools in rural India, Rohini school has dedicated staff and keen students, but limited resources. The original school building was a simple lattice-weave wooden structure, cool in summer but unusable during the five-month monsoon season.
Through our local contacts in Siliguri we were made aware of the situation and of the plans for a new building, weatherproof and with electricity and proper toilet facilities. We were able to make a contribution to the cost, and when two of us visited India a little while later, we met the teachers and pupils, and saw the construction work in progress.
With new buildings, the school has prospered and grown. Our partners in Darjeeling then
identified the need for a new Computer Centre in the school.
We were able to provide funds to help bring this project to fruition, to the considerable benefit of both pupils and teachers.

2019 update - a group from the UK visited Rohini school and were given a welcome normally reserved for royalty!
We saw how well the school was doing, both academically and socially - the staff and pupils can be very proud of their
achievements!
