Kurt Bürki visits Penthakata

On a short trip to India, the founder of the foundation Kurt Bürki visited the Usthi projects in India in mid-September. This includes a visit to the school in Penthakata.

It was not an easy year for our students in Penthakata. After the cyclone Fani had severely damaged the fishing village and the school grounds in May, it took a lot of time and work to return to normality. Usthi was fortunate to be able to ensure a timely resumption of school operations thanks to generous donations.

It is nice to see that the children can now concentrate fully on learning and build an important foundation for their future. For Kurt Bürki, the visit to Penthakata is still a matter close to his heart and it fills him with great joy to see that, despite the adverse circumstances, also this year many boys and girls can be offered a school education.
