Rousillac students to be housed at mandir

After almost their entire school was ravaged by fire last Friday the students of the Rousillac Hindu are receiving assistance from various quarters. As of today the classes will be held at the mandir adjacent to the school compound and they are also receiving furniture from other schools.

Speaking to Newsday yesterday Satnarayan Maharaj, Secretary of the Maha Sabha, said the school is to receive desks and blackboards from the Longdenville Presbyterian School. They were being moved to the mandir yesterday in preparation for today’s classes. The Education Ministry, he said, is assisting in the transportation of the desks and blackboards to the temple which would now be the accommodating area for the the 231 students. Maharaj noted that they have been “co-operating very well” and doing all they can. He also stated that the Principals Association of the Maha Sabha is in the process of accumulating funds to purchase stationery for the school.
