More than 200 villagers, army personnel, monks and volunteers were at the school today clearing mud from the Science and Junior courtyards. One classroom block is almost clear and a damage assessment can now be made. Class 8 is due to restart tomorrow (Thursday).Five of the six residence buildings are now clean. The mud has been removed from the sixth residence, but the wooden floor is damaged and will need to be replaced. 78 residential students are currently at the school.
50 mattresses, blankets and quilts are needed to re-equip the residences.
The Indian army is providing substantial help in the form of food supplies, tents and portable latrines (the VIP latrines adjacent to the Residences are full of mud and will have to be cleared).
The electrical wiring in many of the buildings is damaged and must be replaced.
The team is working on a needs assessment, which will be uploaded to this website as soon as possible.
