Through this project I have succeeded to return something back to my school and I remembered my child hood days, where I got my primary education in my own village school. The children in the school were facing problems particularly in the rainy season. Because the school is having only 3 class rooms for 1st to 5th standards and out of that 3, 2 class rooms were don’t have proper roofing. In rainy season the school teachers will club all the students in one class room and there won’t any classes on rainy day. Through this project we have renovated one class room last year and another class room renovated in this year.
