Government Lower Primary School, Vibhuthipura, Bangalore
On Saturday (05th September 2009), we visited the School and the money for the three tables that we donated, Rs 6000, has been handed over to the Head Teacher, Sheela Madam. The computer lab which hosts 9 computers were taken off the old tables and were accommodated in the new tables and the computer lab was re-arranged. All the 9 computers in the School works fine and the students are using them
New Request:
The Teacher has requested for 9 computer covers to be provided, one for each computer. If any of you can provide the same, either an used one in good condition or a new one, do let know

Government Lower Primary School, Bangalore

• The district level competition is tentatively scheduled on 09th /10th of September 2009. There was an improvement the last time the students presented at the Taluk level competition – for fancy dress with "Tree" as the theme, a few birds were drawn on the Tree, one way to show how a tree can support an ecosystem. This time if there are any ideas for fancy dress (like the birds chirping on the tree), do let know
