ROTA renovates one of Qatar’s oldest secondary schools

Intense renovations on one of the oldest secondary schools in Qatar took place this week under the leadership of local charity Reach Out To Asia (ROTA).

The project to overhaul the Bangladesh M.H.M School and College in Abu Hamour, which is being entirely by Occidental Petroleum Corp. Qatar (Oxy Qatar), involves painting, decorating and refurbishing six kindergarten classrooms.

ROTA falls under the Qatar Foundation umbrella, and QF is also overseeing an additional project at the school to create a kid-friendly covered playground and racetrack.

Currently, the school, which was founded in 1979, caters to over 1,100 students, mostly from the local Bengali community.

But due to its age and lack of funds, the school has been struggling to upgrade its facilities to meet evolving education goals – for example, lacking multimedia equipment.
