BHOLU 10
Location: Ramapir No Tekro, Ahmedabad
Completed: 2010
Volunteers: Jesus Porras Montesino, Kah-Fai Lee and Karen Erdos
One of the defining features of Bholu 10 is the front gate of the anganwadi is made from re-cycled plastic bottle tops, which are woven onto a steel mesh as part of the door frame and provides a beautiful coloured screen between the outdoor and classroom space.
The exterior walls of the amenities block were built by volunteers, with the columns made from re-cycled drink bottles filled by scrap paper. The children of the community were instrumental in working with the volunteers to make these beautiful and unique columns that create light and interest at the entry to the anganwadi.
