I studied in a small village without school and bus facility but today I am well placed and living in the USA.  You may face many challenges, face them boldly. Your confidence is your asset, no other thing is more powerful than your confidence and courage.  Donating for education is the best donation and it will have an impact all through life, he said. 

Speaking on the occasion, the headmaster said the school has 900 students.  500 of them are boys and 400 girls.  They used to sit on the floors.  They were in need of desks.
