Setpagone is
a small village situated on the east bank of the Ayeyarwadyriver. It dwells
about 500 people who are living on farming and cattle ranching. There is a
school which educates 102 students from the village and its surroundings from
Grade 1 to 8 with the support of 8 teachers. It became the Grand Circle
Foundation site in 2013. The school compound is quite spacious and the school
kids are friendly with our travelers. However, our travelers found out that during
the school time, those kids were sitting on the floor which is dangerously run
down with many holes and the floor was not strongly supported enough for the
safety.
Our generous
travelers donated the funds to install the new floor as soon as possible. So,
the project was so laborious that the carpenters and the builders had to slowly
deconstruct the old parts and put the new concrete posts to support the new
floor. The villagers participated in the project with labor contribution. Under
the caring management of Grand Circle Foundation, the new floor has been
successfully installed and the project has been accomplished. Now, the school
kids are learning their lesson on the new floor on which they don’t have to
worry about the safety. Their parents and the village community are happy with
this and give their heart-felt thanks to the Grand Circle Foundation and our
generous American travelers.
Going onwards,Grand Circle
Foundation will support more classroom materials to that school to reach the
standard classroom criteria.
