Re-Opening of Puthukkudiyiruppu RC Vidyalayam Building

This school is located in the vicinity of Puthukudiyiruppu hospital and was badly damaged during the war. It started functioning in September 2012 after the end of war. Currently, there are 445 students, from Year 1 to GCE O/L, learning here. The school infrastructure included a temporary shelter built by UNICEF, a permanent building recently built by Child Fund, and the badly damaged building, in which six classes were being conducted. Following Assist RR’s visit towards the end of Jan 2014 and appeal for funds to renovate this school building, a generous and kind-hearted Malaysian family with roots in Urumpirai pledged funds around Rs 2.2 Million to renovate this school building. Assist RR would like to thank the family for their kind support. Assist RR started the project in March 2014 and the school was re-opened by Mullaithivu GA, Mr Vethanayagan, on 22 April 2014 at a ceremony attended by Mr Navaneetharajah representing his family. Northern Provincial Education Director, Mr Selvarajah also attended the ceremony. The donors provided meals to all school children and to the guests at the re-opening ceremony at their expenses.
