Rotary Club of Pune Wisdom Enhances Safety and Recreation at Bhambarde SAMPARC School Back

In a commendable effort to address the environmental challenges faced by Bhambarde SAMPARC School, the Rotary Club of Pune Wisdom has undertaken a transformative project to enhance the school's hostel ground. Situated approximately 100 km from Pune, the picturesque village of Bhambarde experiences heavy rainfall and subsequent waterlogging, which significantly restricts outdoor activities for students, particularly those residing in the hostel.

Project Overview:

Responding to these challenges, the Rotary Club of Pune Wisdom initiated the construction of a 10,000 square feet paver block area on the school grounds. This initiative, costing Rs. 10 lakhs, aims to mitigate safety concerns posed by the local environment, especially the risk of reptile encounters during the rainy season. The project not only enhances safety but also provides a versatile space for recreational and educational activities.

Key Outcomes:

  • Improved Accessibility: The new paver block area allows students to engage in outdoor activities year-round, irrespective of weather conditions.

  • Enhanced Safety: The construction protects children from reptiles and other hazards, ensuring a secure learning environment.

  • Multi-functional Space: The area now serves as an open theatre and playground, supporting diverse activities such as sports, performances, prayers, and potential inter-school competitions.

  • Positive Impact: This initiative is expected to significantly improve the quality of life for students, promoting physical activity, social interaction, and overall well-being.

Inauguration and Impact:

The project, spearheaded by RCP Wisdom, reflects the club's dedication to empowering the local community and enhancing educational facilities. The newly constructed area is expected to foster a sense of pride and ownership among students and educators, providing them with ample opportunities for growth, creativity and engagement.

Local leaders and community members have praised the Rotary Club of Pune Wisdom for their proactive approach in addressing practical challenges and creating a safer, more engaging environment for the students of Bhambarde SAMPARC School. This project stands as a testament to the club’s ongoing commitment to community welfare and educational advancement.
