There were three structures in use for the school. The first building was in decent shape and has three classrooms for kindergarten, grades four and five. But grades one and three were 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 was a simple platform with a palm leaf roof and used for grade two. We have provided a new 60’ x 30’ school in 2025.
