There are three structures in use for the school. The first building is in decent shape and has three classrooms for kindergarten, grades four and five. But grades one and three are in a bamboo structure with a leaky tin roof, dirt floor and three open sides that do not offer protection from rain and wind. The third school structure is a simple platform with a palm leaf roof and used for grade two. We plan on building a new 60’ x 30’ school in 2025.
