Through community support, the students and teachers raised Rs. 13,000 for fencing by visiting each home for donations. With additional help from the village leader, the school's 400 foot perimeter was enclosed and ground was leveled by October 1st, creating a protected environment for students. The community remains committed to further beautifying the school grounds.

Feel Our School is located in a small village called Sohian in Punjab. The school is dedicated for providing quality education to children and is totally free of cost, providing students with not only quality education but also books, uniforms, and all material required in school for learning. Our school started 4 years back but there was no boundary or fencing around the school. As a result, there were many concerns like stray animals entering the school premises, breaking of windows, damage to school property and building etc. Also the school ground land filling was not proper thus leading to water accumulation during rainy season. Thus, we greatly felt of having at least a fencing around the school to minimize these incidents and creating a safe environment for the school. Also we felt to level the school ground so that water is not accumulated there.
Feel School
Imagine Our first step in this process was that we approached our Head Teacher to fix a meeting with village Sarpanch seeking his support and help. Now, major challenge was the monetary support we required for this project covering an perimeter of 400 feet. Our plan was to do wired fencing covering the school four times for which we needed 1200 feet of wire for fencing and around 30 cement pillars, which total amounted to approximately Rs. 15,000/-. We decided to conduct a donation drive, visiting every house of the village, making them understand the project we Our Head Teacher Ms. Karamjeet have undertaken and thus making it a Kaur with Sarpanch of the village. community project.

Donation Drive - continued
Do After a donation drive lasting for 12 days we finally collected Rs. 13,000/-. This amount would have done for fencing but we also wanted to level our ground. Seeing our dedication and passion the Sarpanch of the village promised us that he will arrange for the leveling of the ground for free. This boosted our energy and we set off to fence our school boundary. Our checklist included purchase of cement pillars and wire for fence. Then second task was to arrange for labor to dig pits to install pillars. And finally it was to fence the boundary. After all this the Sarpanch has to fulfill his promise of leveling the school ground. Thus prepared we started our long wished project of raising a fence for our school

School Ground Leveling
Share At last, on 1st of October, one day before the Gandhi Jayanti, our school finally had the fencing around the complete school. The complete project has been very touching and close to our heart. We visited every house of the village and met all the people. People donated to us as per their capability. It has been a very touching experience for us. The community made our project their own project and helped us in all possible way. This was like a dream come true for all of us and will be in our heart always. Still the vision is not over as now our next step in this project is to plant creepers and flower plants to cover the fencing. Also, we are working on making a gate for our school so that there is complete protection and safety after school hours.
Thank You
