I have a lot to write about when it comes to the School and Rehabilitation Centre for the Blind (SRCB). But first some facts: They have 85 students enrolled, but expect more to join this month after the Hindu holidays next week. I say “students” because they are a school, but also a live-in facility for those with hearing and sight impairments, physical and cognitive disabilities. They also have opened their home to 10 orphaned children from a local children’s home that closed recently. They have 24 staff - administrative officers, teachers and teachers assistants, plus household staff, cooks, etc. During the COVID-19 pandemic they lost 3 staff members: 1 cook, 1 house mother and 1 teacher. Although the director and his wife tested positive, they both recovered well.
