| The
LCUK sponsored the costs of building two primary schools (Shakta Sanala
and Mota Bhela) with Lions Club International in the Morbi district
of Rajkot. These schools were rebuilt after the major Gujarat Earthquake
and opened in March 2004. Currently they have a total of 332 boys
and girls studying subjects from Standard 1 to 7.
Most
of the students are from local under-privileged families and are
getting good education from the twelve teaching staff employed by
the school. The Gujarat Government has recently provided seven computers
to Shakta Sanala Boys Primary School to hold special IT classes.
The
LCUK is looking at a further project to sponsor some refurbishment
and refurnishing work at the schools and provide funds for IT teachers
and some more computer equipment.
