Completed! Irunuroovil Fence Project

One side of the school runs along the main road

Great news! The fence at Irunuroovil school has been completed!

Fixing posts, hanging barbed wire

It took two days and a lot of volunteer labor, including lunch cooked by some of the student’s mothers, but the fence went up with amazing speed. Everyone participated; even the school principal rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt and got down and dirty, not to mention hot and sweaty.

The result is a sturdy, good-looking fence. Take that, elephants! We were very happy with the speed, cooperativeness, and hard work that everyone put into this. Thanks a lot, everyone!
