The flooding of the Ganges River and its tributaries on August 26th inundated a wide area and destroyed crops. It even deprived poor farmers, who already had low incomes, of their income. There was no serious damage to our school buildings, students, or staff, but as you can see, the surrounding area is flooded, and it will take some time for recovery. 20250827

August and September are the rainy season in India, but this year the amount of rain has been heavy, and the sluice gates installed downstream of the Ganges River have not been properly adjusted, causing severe flooding in many areas. The area around our school has also been flooded, and students’ homes have suffered extensive damage. The sudden rise in water overnight forced them to flee with barely the clothes on their backs. We are hoping to provide even a little relief to the poor, non-caste farmers who are already struggling. Teachers are also interviewing students’ parents about the damage.20250827-0906
