Poor dorms condition (roof before refurbishment)

The dorm condition was very poor. It was not painted. There was no ceiling, the bare roof was what those children saw when they went to bed at night.

This was the picture of one of the dorm's ceiling before the refurbishment.

With the fundraising event organized by John Stevens and Hope 4 Our Children in April of 2005, as well as donation from friends and colleagues in Washington D.C. area, Hope 4 Our Children is able to help Dayah Subulussalam orphanage boarding school improved their dorm condition.
