Members of Assam's Singpho community came out in big numbers to celebrate the opening of a new school in Ketetong village.  The Singpho Mother Tongue School offers children an opportunity to study in their own language and learn about their traditional dance and culture.  Funds to reconstruct the building were donated by the congregation of St. Andrew's Anglican Church, in Duncan, BC.

A successful fundraising event organized by Fertile Ground members LeighAnn Vaughan and Onyx Vaughan-Ogilvie made it possible to purchase desks and benches for children attending the school.  After visiting the school in March 2011, they used some of the money they raised to hire a local carpenter to make desks and benches from locally-sourced bamboo plywood.
