The village has three school buildings, two in bad shape with no ceilings and leaking roofs. The third, built by the government 11 years ago, is in decent shape. More than 100 of the students have to go to other towns for the high school grades which is very costly for the villagers. Once we build a new 120′ x 30′ school here, then these students can attend high school in their own village plus it will attract students from nearby villages.
