We are most pleased about this latest purchase! This is a delivery of 100 brand new manufactured desks. We previously had 140 manufactured double desks (seating for 280 students), and with these new single-seaters, now have 380 long-lasting spots for our students.
Why is this a big deal? Well, all of the desks we have in Dekpor are of the home-made variety--picture hand-sawn pieces of wood held together by nails, not screws. Do they wiggle? Yes. Do they fall apart? Yes. Do they require frequent repairs? Yes. Do we have 3 kids crammed into desks? Yes.
These manufactured desks are far more durable. Single desks are preferred not just because we're dealing with a pandemic, but because they are also better for easier arrangement within the rooms and needed for tests and exams.
Thanks to a couple of friends (who prefer to remain anonymous) for making this happen!
