Fr. Victor Misquith inaugurating the school building

The Class of 1971 had their Reunion in December, 2006. It was then they took a decision to help a makeshift school running at Birsa Basti, a slum little beyond Adarsh Nagar, Sonary. The school, a nursery, has been run by Mrs Manju, a social worker since 2004. In these two years, it shifted from one temporary location to another provided by the local slum dwellers. When Dr. Kailash Dubey heard of the problem, he presented it to his classmates during the 1971 Reunion and they agreed to help.

A good library is an essential school facility. It encourages the love of books, reading and learning. It is even more important for schools where children can't afford their own.

Loyola Project School (LPS) uses the infrastructure of Loyola School and has on its rolls 700 under-privileged children from surrounding areas. It operates in the afternoon when the students of the main school have finished. LPS was started in 1992 by the Jesuits at Loyola. It now operates under the Jharkhand Education Project, a Government of Jharkhand initiative, which aims to improve education levels in the economically backward sections of society. It runs on a very tight budget. Each student pays a fee between Rs 10-30 which partially covers the expenses of the 18 faculty members, which is part complimented by the government. A typical LPS student's parent is a tailor, gardener, driver or mechanic. Many students themselves work part time to add to their family income.

Last Sunday, December 9, 2007, we held a medical camp at Tumung, 26 kms from here on the Hata road, a location where Ms Bachendri Pal, the first Indian lady on Everest, holds her local rock climbing camp.
