At WECA 17 School in Myanmar, new construction work continues to rebuild classrooms destroyed by typhoons and earthquakes. Responsible processes are carried out on site every day so that children can study in a safe space.

Key stages of the new school building have recently been undertaken, with a total of 15 work crews and two welders employed. The shape of the interior of the classroom was organized through wall plastering work, and the structural stability of the building was further strengthened by completing the installation of the upper beam form and pouring of concrete. Additionally, as construction of the roof frame begins, the classrooms are gradually taking on a ‘school-like appearance’ that will protect them from rain and sunlight.

Although the process of transporting aggregates and materials to the site is still not easy, workers are quietly guarding the site with the mindset of “let’s give the classroom back to the children.” Classrooms that are rebuilt on the collapsed foundation serve as a strong foundation to support children's learning and future. Chairman Bang Jeong-hwan said, “As classrooms are completed one by one, children’s tomorrows are also being built. The interest and love of sponsors is the biggest force that moves this site.”

The World Educational Cultural Aid will continue construction towards the completion of strong and safe classrooms with a sense of responsibility until the end so that children will no longer have to study in dangerous spaces.
