Had heard so much about the great work Roy was doing, but today I saw the government school he has adopted and turned around as a role model -- and boy, is it impressive! I have seen many government schools but never one so huge, all-encompassing, well-maintained, and well-stocked. Complete with massive grounds, laboratory facilities, huge library, computer rooms -- separate ones for primary classes and secondary classes -- hobby room, chess room, teachers' resource room art room, auditorium, conference rooms, staff-room, breakfast room, day-care centre and what not, the school is comparable to any good private school. And it is totally free for the 2500 students that study there. Working within the system, and yet fighting against all odds is never easy, and one has to hand it to this young, determined man that he has succeeded in making a difference and doing what he has set out to. Let's hope more people follow his role model.
