    The chief and elders of Han and its entourage communities have actually intervened with respect to the dwindling population of the students. Through this, these communities have started a dormitory project,a three unit dormitory block for each sex of students. Hopefully, when these edices are completed will aid accommodate the students to address the population dwindling issue. These projects have been solely executed by these communities with support from other stakeholders on the campus of the Han SHS.
    Thank you
