We planted more than 100 saplings in the vicinity (along the dam and close to the fields). We should be able to see Neem, Jamun, Moringa, Mango etc over a period of two years. The kids from Kaspada schools did the entire hard work. We distributed saplings and seeds at Khomarpada school as well.

Kalampada – New School Inclusion

Kalampada – New School Inclusion

This was our first visit to Kalampada with purpose of inclusion in the Suhrid Foundation supported school. In the visit, we met with teachers, reviewed school and its status and identify possible work we may have to carry out in this school.

Though there is support to the village/school from some other organization, the infrastructure is not upto the mark. The kitchen is non-functional. Bore-well was non-functional.
