Update: 4th Feb. 2011
Due to some administrative hiccups we had to change our chosen school. This time, after surveying some more government as well as private schools, we could find Sangkhola primary school, which is located some 20 kms before the state capital Gangtok on National Highway 31A .
The SEEDS team of Rakhee, Rahman, Harjeet, and Rinkoo is working tirelessly on the ground to design for reconstruction of the school building in Sangkhola. The aim is not only to put structures that are safer than before, but also has a built environment fabric more conducive to learning.
The team is in regular consultation process with the Local village population, Panchayat, and various government departments, especially HRDD (The State Education Department). These informal workshops have been very successful, please see pictures later, in evolving design alternatives for the new school building. Sooner, as the construction gears up we will be in a position to conduct community workshops as well as some hands on interaction sessions aimed at Engineers and Masons.
