As of June 2016, construction is well underway with the structure 90% complete. Work is currently progressing with painting, installation of windows and doors, 20 desks and rest-room facilities. A sump-well will be dug for water and some of the surrounding area will be fenced in for students to grow vegetables.

"As you know, the devastating earthquake has made many people die, many are injured. A significant number of people have become homeless and have lost family members. Most of people passing their current lives under tents without food and clean water. As many foreign countries, organizations, offices and individuals are donating to the effected people, we would also like to generate some funds to them as they really in need of food and shelters. Their small contribution to effected Nepalese people would mean a lot in this panic situation. Collected amounts will be distributed through Prime Minister Relief Fund / VDC Offices / CDO offices / NGOs, / INGOs, & Individuals under the tents."
