Fenner Hall
Fenner Hall continued to contribute to the education of
children enrolled in the Turner Primary School. The
Turner Primary School is an integrated environment
that facilitates and mainstreams children with physical
disabilities. Fenner residents undertook roles as teacher
aides in various areas.
Fenner Hall’s foster child, Navina Budhthokia and her
village continued to benefit from the efforts and support
of the residents. Recent communications indicate that
this support has now enabled her siblings to also access
education and health support.
