The new classrooms at Star of Hope School in Infanta in the Philippines are getting ready. They should be fully ready for the new school year starting June 13. Construction began in March. The above picture shows how it looked then. The new classrooms are added at the far left in the picture.
Star of Hope School in Infanta was inaugurated in 2009 and has five classrooms, toilets, running water, a library and a nice playground. During the academic year 2011 - 2012 the school had about 80 students in elementary school grades 1-5.
Infanta was severely hit by a typhoon in 2004 and claimed 2,000 lives and robbed survivors of the few possessions they had, as houses and livestock. Star of Hope went in with emergency relief assistance to 1,500 families. In 2006, Star of Hope built 300 houses in Infanta and later a school. Star of Hope has continued to support the community ever since.
Below are some pictures from the school in Infanta:
