SHERI & CURTIS
The good folks in India are working hard on the second floor of the Rise UP India School. Check out the latest photos.
Building Construction: Concrete post and beam with brick infilled walls. Flat concrete roof. Steel barred windows with no glass but with wooden shutters. Two more bathrooms and four more classrooms.
A good solid building that can survive the monsoons, the heat and rot, its fireproof and can’t be blown down.
Thanks to Sheri and the generous time and contributions from the folks in Bend and elsewhere and to the crazy crowd at RISE UP international.
Pramod, Upendra, Rakesh, the other teachers, cook, handyman, and all the students, and the nine orphan boys will have some more room to live, learn and play. Children have the right to a childhood. An education, no matter how simple, can make all the difference in life. Like I’m sure, dear reader, you know all so well.
Pramod and Upendra check out the new digs.
The folks who run the Rise UP India school are a hardy lot. They are working hard under difficult circumstances. You, dear friend, probably have no clue about the situation in India. But they shrug it off and plunge forward. Want to find out? Send them an email at:
Think about supporting Rise UP. It makes you feel good, and definitely increases your Q factor. Peace - Love - Happy New Year.
