PiCCA members Rod & Deborah Setterlund made their annual trip to Nepal at the end of 2017, and we’re very grateful for their report on the classroom at the remote Tawal school that was rebuilt with PiCCA funds.
Over forty Year 10 students from five local villages, are waiting to move into the classroom, which is almost finished. Once the current monsoon season is over, the valuable sand, cement and timber for trusses that is being stored inside the classroom can be taken out. The classroom walls and floor can then be rendered and painted and the external walls then “pointed” with cement.
The rest of the school is being rebuilt with funds from nafa.org.au (Rod is NAFA’s President). It has been a very long journey for these communities following the April 2015 earthquakes.
