Mother Teresa School, Vengurla
The school has reached 7th std. but still we don’t have the school building. The classes are conducted in parish house for time being. The diocese has spent money in getting land for the building. There is urgent need to construct building as early as possible. The estimate cost for the building is over 2 Crore and 50 Lakhs. So far we have collected 5 Lakhs leaving aside what we have spent for purchasing land plot.
