At the village of Yanda two blocks with three classrooms each were realized near the old mud school. Unlike the traditional construction method of the old mud school the new school was built using carved natural stone quarried locally. In order to quarry and carve the stones the inhabitants of Yanda participated fully.
The construction of the school was initiated in the beginning of 2004, and by March that year the walls of the First block were already established, and the foundation of the second building was just started. The roofs of the school are made with 7 meter long aluminum roofing sheets which were transported from the Netherlands by SDO. They arrived before the rain season started in Yanda so the schools were waterproofed in time.
In March 2005 a festive inauguration took place. The villagers, pupils and teachers were all present, and a traditional mask dance was performed.
In addition to building the school, houses for teachers as well as latrines and a new well were realized. In a village nearby Yanda SDO had already realized a well in collaboration with the community. It was then that it became clear that active involvement and collaboration with the realization of the new school could be expected from the community.
