This is the Viduni school in 2006 |
rebuilt with thanks to the people of Wokingham and Reading, Berkshire, UK, |
 |
 |
|
The children are able to have lessons in a new classroom |
and to play outside. |
 |
 |
|
But in 2004 after the devastating Boxing Day tsunami, the picture was very different... |
the school had to be completely rebuilt |
 |
 |
|
and was opened a year later on December 28th, 2005. |
The Hawthorns School, UK, sends congratulations. |
