As planned, school started again in Penthakata on Monday the 17th of June. In addition to attending school, the first new trees were planted on the school grounds.

After the devastating cyclone Fani hit the fishing village of Penthakata hard at the beginning of May and the Usthi school in the village was no exception, the clean-up work has progressed so far that the safety of our school children has been restored. Therefore the school could be resumed last week.

In addition to the usual lessons, the school children are also actively involved in the reconstruction of their campus. After a large part of the trees on the campus could not withstand the storm, our school children helped to plant new trees.

Usthi is extremely grateful for the great support after the cyclone and is pleased that this has made it possible to resume classes within a short time.
