Moodubelle, 07 Feb 2013: The foundation stone to the Mid-day meal kitchen was blessed and laid by Rev. Fr. Joswey Fernandes, Correspondent of St. Lawrence Educational Institutions on 31 January 2013. The staff members and students were present for the short function.
Fr. Paul Sequeira, Principal of St. Lawrence Composite PU College welcomed and narrated the purpose of the project. He said that it is a need based project. The Mid-day meal project was started by the Lions Club of Moodubelle in 2004. The facility has become quite old now as the cement sheets have become old leaking during the rainy season. Even the space has been quite inadequate to accommodate the growing number of students who benefit from the Mid-day meal facility.
The project was to start last year. However, due to shortage of funds the project had to be delayed. As the project has become the top priority, it’s construction has started hoping support from generous donors. With their support it is hoped that the project will be completed by June 2013 before the the school starts for the next academic year.
The construction work is being undertakne by Mr. Robert Noronha from Karkala who had built the church. The engineer is Mr. Srinivas Nayak who did the planning of the project. The estimated cost of the project is around Rs.15 lakhs.
Fr. Paul Sequeira has made an appeal to generous donors and well-wishers to come forward and contribute to the completion of the project.
