28 children of the school have died during the Tsunami (in their homes). The school decided to relocate the siblings in other schools to help reduce the trauma by giving them a new environment. The school now has 278 children. The children of this primary school are studying with medium of instruction as English and are in classes 1 to 5. Changing the children to the govt. schools nearby is not possible for the reason above and also because the local govt. schools are already overcrowded. The school is now running with reduced staff due to financial constraints.

The children need bags, books, notebooks, uniforms and materials for the next academic year beginning June 2005. They need have their school getting back to good shape too. The school cannot charge any fees from Jan 2005 to May 2006 as the children are from families affected by the Tsunami. The school therefore needs support in all ways for its continuation, not just reconstruction.
