The idea of building the Anjung struck my mind on the very first day I was assigned to be the Principal here. I found that there was no distinguished landmark of the school. My first few day's arrival was a bit chaotic; infact I missed the school gate! (Prior to that, I was trying to imagine something special about the school building but found none). Later I tried to locate a few parts of the school to make it something symbolic in the magazines, documents, etc but none was really established. A few days later, I noticed that our students had to brave the rain to reach their parents' car outside the compound. It was really dangerous! I wished nobody would be hurt by falling, slipping or at least wet! I started to throw out the idea to a few teachers, parents and students. The responds were very positive.
Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, we could not get any allocation from the Education Department. So we worked out the "AMONIA" or A Morning In Al-Bukhary (ps: refer to earlier posts) and managed to raise enough fund to build ANJUNG AL-BUKHARY.
But, the challenges did stop there...infact we faced a few unforeseen challenges. I will share with you all in my next posting.
AL-BUKHARY IS CHALLENGING!
