After more than a year of construction, the new Computer Lab is finally complete. It is being used not only by EBS students but also by students from the ITI and even some groups within the surrounding Bapatla community!

Access to the Computer Lab is yet another significant improvement to the education offered at the Elizabeth Barrie School.

Community use of the Lab and rental income from the shops located on the ground floor of the new building will both provide some ongoing income to aid in meeting the Children’s Home’s day-to-day expenses.

March 2024, A special trip to see the ocean brought many smiles. Happy memories were made!

New school uniforms have arrived! And the students are happy with how well they fit! (November 2023)

The addition of a second bus makes the Elizabeth Barrie School attractive and available to even more area students than before.  Tuition paying students help to further the sustainability of both the Elizabeth Barrie School and the Christiana Children’s Home.

The Yanadi Tribe is located on the outskirts of Bapatla and is comprised of people known as “untouchables” in the Indian society. Because of their social caste these villagers are quite poor, have low literacy levels, and limited social and economic opportunities. As a result, their children grow up in this same situation, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.

A daycare center, which will help to provide the young children with nutritious food, education, and hope for a brighter future, was recently started in the Yandi colony as a joint effort of the staffs of both the Christiana Children’s Home and the Elizabeth Barrie School.
