This beautiful, two-story building is much more than a structure—it’s the heart of the campus and a bold statement of our care for the Santal students!
On the ground floor, a new, efficient kitchen and dining hall offer great cooking capacity and a reliable shelter during seasonal floods and high heat. The large dining hall/multipurpose room will be the only indoor space on campus that can hold the full capacity of the school (1,200 students). This is a space to gather—for meals, learning and cultural events—to share daily life, laughter and experiences that create lasting connection.
The second floor will provide comfortable accommodations for teachers, Jesuits, and visitors or volunteers. With private bathrooms and its own common areas for connection, the space will support our vision for service and mission trips while fostering a sense of community and hospitality.
Dear Friends,
Help us write a new chapter in Gurap’s Story of Hope! With your support this beautiful building will come to life with the laughter of children, an abundance of nutritious, fresh food, and a spirit of shared experience. With your help, love wins every day in Gurap!
