FIRST SCHOOL COMPLETED!!! - Well Done North Devon Schools
On the 8th of December Randombe, a small town in the South of Sri Lanka, will be the focus of a host of visitors from home and overseas.
Rotary Sri Lanka chose Randombe Junior School as the starting point of their “Schools Re-awaken Project” – an initiative that will enable nearly 12,000 children to go back to their very own ‘model’ schools.
One of the first items on the day’s programme will be the unveiling of a specially commissioned monument with a threefold dedication. The monument is in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the tsunami, in celebration of those who survived; and in gratitude to those special people who helped build the new school. Among those present on the occasion will be representatives from North Devon Schools in the UK who sponsored the cost of rebuilding the school.In the last few weeks, this usually sleepy village, has been the scene of frenetic activity as workmen rushed to complete the construction in time for the ceremonial opening.
The new school is now the focus of the entire village; teachers, students, parents, and well wishers are all lending a hand to put the finishing touches to the school.
