Education is the key to development and prosperity. It strengthens individuals, families and communities.

 HIGH SCHOOL & PRIMARY SCHOOL .(History)

In the year 1983 we got permission for Government granted High School. Class VIII Started in 1  room of our Jamia Masjid opposite Building. Next year Class VIII & IX shifted to another location at late Hajee Yusuf Musaji Limbada’s property. In 1988 High School classes had to move to Dayabhai Ahir’s building till 1991, finally we moved to our present High School building.

It was not until 1987 when our first S.S.C. batch appeared in exams - myself  (Yusuf Bhorat) and Ebrahim I.Badat started marathon of collection for our present High School building:-

Here I would like to thank quite a few well wishers:-  Maulana Idris Patel, Late Moosabhai Irani, Late Yacoob Suleman Limbada, Late Jibhai (Ebrahim) Mulla and Mr Chhota Badat who supported us not only financially but also giving their valuable time to take us round to their contacts. The collection for a High School was a difficult task. We went round in London from Monday to Thursday without much success. Late Ismail Seedat was also with us. It was Friday morning, we were sitting in Jibhai Mulla’s house at 103 Plashet Road, Upton Park somebody got an idea to distribute leaflets  at Regent Park Mosque after Jumma Salah if Allah wishes we might find a donor from Arab Sheikh.  Jibai took us round to get leaflet printed in English and Arabic within no time. We reached to Regent’s Park Mosque in good time and distributed our leaflets. I remember Ebrahimbhai said: “ I liked this type of begging.”  We were not so lucky to get response. I also remember   Mr. Ismail Mulla (my Brother’s daughter Dr.Rubana Bhorat’s husband) who took me round to his contacts in Dublin one week end.

I should not forget my Masibhai late Mr.Abdul Haq Jassat who invited me to South Africa. I went there in 1988/90/94/97. Apart from his illness of Parkinson deases he and late Ahmed Yusuf Mulla (Hafejee) took me round in Transvaal and Natal. Also thanks to Late Maulana Gora (Mohamed) Bhorat and Abdur Rehman Vadia of Stanger, Dr. Ebrahim Vahed and Mehmood Ameen of Newcastle, Fazlull Jabbar Peer of Dundee,

Adam Kadwa of Umzinto and Farooq Chohan of Welcom for their support.  I was accompanied Mr.yacoob Patel of Tayyabah Bakery on my last trip.

I  also  remember Mr.Kassim Ahmedjee, Mohamedali Hanslod, Ebrahim Motala and late Yakub Ahmed Limbada in Zambia, Lusaka for their support. Make dooa for Marhoomis ( may the Almighty grant Marhoomin Janatul Firdos ).

We were lucky to hold 49th Annual Conference of THE SURTI SUNNI VOHRA MUSLIM EDUCATION SOCIETY   on 13th March 1997 in our High School. Among the large gathering of 2000 people our community leaders discussed the lack of higher education in our children and came to conclusion - that government primary school’s poor education record was the main problem.  We need to have our private Primary Schools.

Mr. M S Kara, President of Welfare Committee came to UK in 2003. (to be continued)
