Interview with Lein about improved teaching environment:

“Before I lived at Rubale centre which is 15 kilometer from school, I had to travel 30 kilometers every working day using a motorcycle which added extra expenses”, Lein said. “After construction of this house at my school, the school management committee proposed me to shift in and I feel privileged”, continued Lein.

“Now I am spending more time helping school children, and can balance work / family time. The remaining gap is a lack of access to potable water. I believe with the current plan of drilling a bore hole at our school premises will solve the challenge”, narrated Lein.

“I thank our donors for their support, and may God bless this family abundantly”, concluded Lein.
