From 1994 up to now, the support from CWS to our school is active and effective, including provide living tools, books, sport equipments, and also personal property for the boarding students. In 2004 the school has received several constructions from CWS project, such as drinking filter water system for the students, foreign language and computer lab, a greenhouse. These have helped the teachers and students have more modern facilities for teaching and learning; the students have the filter water system to drink daily; the boarding students have the place to practice their vocations.

We used to learn in the old class, which is low-rooted and dirty. When it was raining, the books and notebooks got wet. When it was sunny, we had to use the old newspapers to cover the windows. Now thanks to CWS project, we have new classroom and also a new and modern latrine. After using the latrine, we press water to clean it. In the classroom there are light bulbs to make the class lighter
. Before in the library there was nothing. Now there are bookshelves, many strip cartoons, and reference books. The playground is concreted. We are very happy and we learn better

This also helps us to improve the teaching and learning quality in the kindergarten and primary schools in our district
