During the Nepal earthquake of 2015, the School building was severely damaged due to proximity to the epicenter. Several classrooms were completely destroyed and most classes had to be held outside in the open. Parents stopped sending their children to the School - and the School was in danger of shutting down.
At that time, all of Area 3 Rotary clubs came together to conduct a fundraiser to aid in the reconstruction efforts of the School building. Reconstruction is in full swing - and is being done with a view to rendering the building seismic-proof.
Santosh Kumari Lal was a teacher and a leader who dedicated her life working for social needs and recognizing the philosophy of education in India. She was raised in a large family where her father, Chiranjeev Lal - a Professor of English at Jaipur University - instilled in their minds that knowledge is a tool that will not only make you independent, but will help you achieve your dreams.
Santosh went on to receive her Bachelor of Science and Master of Psychology from Delhi University, Bachelor of Education from Punjab University, and Advanced Chemistry from Toronto University.
She also worked with Kanhaiyalal Maneklal Munshi, founder of Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan - a cultural and educational trust. With the care belief that there are elements in all cultures which transcend all barriers and knit people together, Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan has over 100 centers in India and 7 centers across the world including the US, UK, and Australia. Her work within the community led her to begin the Children's Literacy Project.0
As she continued her work in education, she also passed on her love to her two children, Sangeeta and Sandeep. Though she lost her life to breast cancer, her battle with the disease was a true example of strength and resilience. She lived her life to the fullest and touched so many people during that time. Her happiness came from bringing joy to others, always self-sacrificing, and placing the needs of others before her own.
