Historique de l’école « Houssaini Memorial School » de Tuléar par ‘Aun ‘Ali bhây Lâljee
+
According to Al-Hâj 'Aun' Ali Ismâ'ïl Lâljee, former Vice-President of the Jamât of [[Tulear]], it all began in 1951 when [[Alibhai Hirji]] went to Tulear. The latter took the "first step" by going to the members of our Jamât in the Mosque itself in order to propose to them to open a school managed by our own community. Subsequently, it was Hâji Ismâ'ïl Lâljee who took the initiative to build this school where teaching would therefore be done in [http://khojapedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gujarati_language '''Gujarati'''] and in French. To do this, Ismâ'ïl bhây brings together the members of the Tulear Jamât in order to sensitize them to participate financially in this noble project and in order to be able to raise the necessary funds to launch the construction works. Everyone participated according to their possibilities.

D’après Al-Hâj ‘Aun ‘Ali Ismâ’ïl Lâljee, ancien Vice-Président de la Jamât de Tuléar, tout commença en 1951 lors du passage à Tuléar de ‘Ali bhây Hirjee. Ce dernier fit le "premier pas" en allant vers les membres de notre Jamât dans la Mosquée même afin de leur proposer d’ouvrir une école gérée par notre propre communauté. Par la suite, c’est Hâji Ismâ’ïl Lâljee qui prit l’initiative de construire cette école où l’enseignement se ferait donc en Goujrâti et en français. Pour ce faire, Ismâ’ïl bhây réunit les membres de la Jamât de Tuléar afin de les sensibiliser à participer financièrement à ce noble projet et afin de pouvoir réunir les fonds nécessaires au lancement des travaux de construction. Chacun participa suivant ses possibilités.

Our Jamât then bought with Youssouf 'Ali bhây Karim land which was in Tanambao for the sum of 500,000 Fmg. Construction began under the supervision of Ismâ'ïl bhây and Hâji Qâssam 'Ali Dâyâ (Kadaya). In 1953, Hâji Kadaya died and Ismâ'ïl bhây alone continued to supervise the construction works until the completion of the large works. In 1956, it was the turn of Ismâ'ïl bhây to leave this ephemeral world. The follow-up of the finishing works was then ensured by Bahâdour 'Ali bhây Ahmad Jivâ, who completed the part of the ground floor: the construction of this ground floor cost a total of 5,000,000 FMG to Jamât. Jamât then rented three compartments as sales stores with a monthly rent of 10,000 FMG, and the other compartments were therefore intended for the opening of our school. Note that the foundations of this new building were designed for one floor.

Notre Jamât acheta alors avec Youssouf ‘Ali bhây Karim un terrain qui se trouvait à Tanambao pour la somme de 500.000 Fmg. La construction débuta sous la surveillance de Ismâ’ïl bhây et de Hâji Qâssam ‘Ali Dâyâ (Kadaya). En 1953, Hâji Kadaya décéda et Ismâ’ïl bhây continua seul la supervision des travaux de construction jusqu’à la finition des gros œuvres. En 1956, ce fut au tour de Ismâ’ïl bhây de quitter ce monde éphémère. La relève du suivi des travaux de finition fut alors assurée par Bahâdour ‘Ali bhây Ahmad Jivâ, qui termina la partie du rez-de-chaussée : la construction de ce rez-de-chaussée coûta au total 5.000.000 Fmg à la Jamât.

In 1972, Rajab 'Ali bhây Qâssam' Ali Râmjee raised funds to be able to build part of the first floor in order to open a school called "Houssaini Memorial School". At the opening of this school, there were about thirty students from the 8th and 9th grades attending. But subsequently, the school no longer being able to bear its operating costs, the Tulear Jamat made its duty to come to its rescue and to subsidize it up to its expenses.

La Jamât loua alors trois compartiments comme magasins de ventes au loyer mensuel de 10.000 Fmg, et les autres compartiments étaient donc destinés à l’ouverture de notre école. Notons que les fondations de ce nouveau bâtiment étaient conçues pour un étage.

History & Origin of the School

According to Al-Hâj 'Aun' Ali Ismâ'ïl Lâljee, former Vice-President of the Jamât of Tulear, it all began in 1951 when Alibhai Hirji went to Tulear. The latter took the "first step" by going to the members of our Jamât in the Mosque itself in order to propose to them to open a school managed by our own community. Subsequently, it was Hâji Ismâ'ïl Lâljee who took the initiative to build this school where teaching would therefore be done in Gujarati and in French. To do this, Ismâ'ïl bhây brings together the members of the Tulear Jamât in order to sensitize them to participate financially in this noble project and in order to be able to raise the necessary funds to launch the construction works. Everyone participated according to their possibilities.

Our Jamât then bought with Youssouf 'Ali bhây Karim land which was in Tanambao for the sum of 500,000 Fmg. Construction began under the supervision of Ismâ'ïl bhây and Hâji Qâssam 'Ali Dâyâ (Kadaya).

In 1956, it was the turn of Ismâ'ïl bhây to leave this ephemeral world. The follow-up of the finishing works was then ensured by Bahâdour 'Ali bhây Ahmad Jivâ, who completed the part of the ground floor: the construction of this ground floor cost a total of 5,000,000 FMG to Jamât. Jamât then rented three compartments as sales stores with a monthly rent of 10,000 FMG, and the other compartments were therefore intended for the opening of our school. Note that the foundations of this new building were designed for one floor.

But subsequently, the school no longer being able to bear its operating costs, the Tulear Jamat made its duty to come to its rescue and to subsidize it up to its expenses.

In 1975, the Tulear Jamat set up a committee of volunteers in order to better manage this school. This committee included the following notables:
