2. A\u00a0Pre-School in Sampoor, Trincomalee:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Following a request from the GA of Trincomalee, a pre-school is being built by Assist RR. The project is being funded by Building Blocks, UK, a registered charity in\u00a0England. The construction is nearing completion and will be opened soon. The cost of this project is around \u00a37000. Building Blocks is also funding fencing the\u00a0premises, installation of play equipment and\u00a0furnishing the pre-school. <\/span>This project wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of Building Blocks, UK.\u00a0The pre-school would assist mothers in the area to be involved in livelihood activities without worrying about looking after their children.<\/p>\n 3. Classroom extension at PTK Shri Subramaniyam Vidyalayam:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/span>This school was completely destroyed at the end of the war and has been functioning in temporary shelters. An INGO, Child Fund, built a two storey building but left a small portion without the construction of the first floor. If completed, the first floor can house three classrooms. Following a request from the principal and the education department, Assist RR agreed to fund it.\u00a0Siblings of late Miss Maheswary Velautham from Karaveddy donated funds in memory of her to\u00a0construct this 3-classroom extension. Photos are given below. The cost of this extension project is around \u00a312,000.<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Construction of Transitional Shelters in\u00a0Sampoor:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Assist RR had already completed construction of 35 shelters and is building another 20 shelters. Toilets are also being built for all 55 shelters. The construction of shelters will be completed in 2 weeks and construction of all 55 toilets will be completed by the end of April. There has been delays due to heavy rain in the area in November\/December and due to high water level as a result. This project is jointly funded by London Ealing Shri Kanagathurkkai Amman Temple (20\u00a0shelters &\u00a0toilets), Singapore TTVK (10), Sivanarulillam (4), and by\u00a0generous donors through Assist RR (21).
