Exam time in the large school hall of the new secondary school, Dar-Ul-Baseerat, Halloki. It was a joy to see so many children availing of secondary education. Most of these pupils would have been at school under the large banyon tree in Halloki.
Brid congratulating Sir Akram, the Principal of the secondary school and rejoicing at the number of children sitting their end of year exams.

This is land that we bought recently to provide a playground area for the children. At present it is not being used, as the surface is not suitable as a playground area. Bricks will have to be laid down, and they are costly.
