Storm destroys classroom block at Ndola’s Vesilahti community school

Heavy rains accompanied by strong winds have blown off the roof of a 1 x 2 classroom block at Vesilahti Community School in Ndola’s Kafubu Dam West Farming Block.

Vesilahit Parents Community School Committee Chairperson, Jent Banda, confirmed the development in an interview with Zambia Monitor on Sunday.

Banda said most of the school materials which were stored in the two classes got soacked and damaged such as the end of the year School test papers for the pupil.

“I’m appealing to well-wishers to come on board urgently and help in any way possible because this is the only community school in the area,” she said.

Banda lamented that the situation had affected both pupils and Parents who depend on the school which also employees a number of people living in the area.

She appealed to well wishers to come to the aid of the school which is among three Community schools in the area and had a large enrollement.

“The rains started around 15:00hrs yesterday and luckily it was a weekend and there were no pupils around. Most of things which were left in the two classrooms got damaged. We will need to look for a new printer, computer and other things,” Banda said.
