Hurrah For Our Home In The Mountains

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear All,

A very special thanks to all of who mobilized so many donations towards the Mungpoo School Project, the very first venture of the newly set up North Point Alumni Association, Middle East Chapter. It is indeed heartwarming that we have benefactors like you who are willing to not only contribute but also lend your support to a good cause and especially one which involves giving young children a fair chance in life. The NP Alumni remains committed to bettering the lot of the less fortunate in the world keeping in mind the words of our school song – “Here’s a hand to a faltering brother, here’s a lift for the lame and the slow”

A novel enterprise, this School project furthers the educational opportunities for the underprivileged in the society. The aim to make them proficient in English as this is the teaching medium, educate them to become world class citizens capable of integrating into society and further be able to avail of better opportunities in other parts of the world.

This School is being built with treated bamboo, keeping in mind the natural setting and effective use of resources for an environment-friendly construction and along the lines of the Green Concepts which are critical in today’s world. Since most of the students are from nearby plantations, the need for vocational education is high. Students are taught beekeeping, bioorganic farming, planting mushrooms and many more vocations. Your contribution towards this enterprise is critical given the fact that it costs just Dhs. 250 to educate a child for a year and Dhs. 2500 for the entire ten years of schooling, which indeed is a relatively small sum, isn’t it?

So once again please accept our gratitude as well as appreciation for your great service which is truly appreciated,

With kind regards,

Robert
