Seb's School, Senji Mottur
Seb’s school in Senji Mottur opened in 2003. It now educates children aged 5-10 years in five classes. The school is located in a poor agricultural village which has suffered badly from drought. The Sebastian Hunter Memorial Trust has funded the school infrastructure and supports a teacher and his further training as well as individual cases of poverty in the village.
In the past few years, the school’s teaching methods have been completely transformed. New materials and resources, provided by the government, are brightly coloured and allow the students to learn at their own pace. A new church and community centre was opened by Anna Hunter and her son James in October 2010. The villagers had a three day celebration in honour of their new church which replaced one that had been built 100 years ago. The village raised over £1,000 themselves to put towards the rebuild. |
The new church is larger and more contemporary. It has a specially built ramp and platform for a villager, Daniel, who is disable and has to use a special wheelchair.
