The School in Roha

 
The board could use a makover
 We have a well run school in Roha. It uses the much reputed CBSE syllabus, over 800 students from the area whom we educate there. A school is an excellent vehicle to connect with the local population and to serve them by educating their children into worthy citizens of the land.



The current school building
The road till here for the school has not been easy. There has been oppositions, political pressures all kinds of problems against the running of the school. But by God's grace, we have been able to survive all that. We recently received a No Objection from the government, after much heart ache, to use the land (which is zoned as agricultural land), for the purpose of the school. A new building is now being constructed and it should be ready soon for use for the school.

The new school building being constructed
I think we have classes till sixth standard as of now. As I witnessed the preparations and presentations by the children, parents and teachers during their Annual day function later in the evening, I could sense how the Church in this area was reaching out, connecting with and serving the local population, by means of this school. I could also sense how the local population was responding to the efforts of the school with much enthusiasm, gratitude and hope for their children. Thank God for the school and its mission.
