Renovation Work Begins at Port Primary School
On 4 August, RGWE began renovation work at Port Primary School in collaboration with RSWE. This school is crucial as it serves as the only educational institution for the port area, which currently suffers from a lack of essential services and proper facilities for quality education.
The renovation began after the school was handed over by the Educational Buildings Authority to the contractor responsible for the project. The goal is to modernise the school's infrastructure, making it a more welcoming and efficient learning environment for the students.
The project involves several key upgrades, including roof treatment and insulation to protect against weather conditions, repainting the classrooms with high-grade materials, and completely overhauling the bathrooms to ensure a safe and hygienic space for the children. Progress is going smoothly, and the work is expected to be completed by October. Once finished, the renovated school will offer students a significantly improved learning environment, enhancing their overall educational experience and benefiting the community as a whole.

Summer Internship Training
On 11 August, RGWE organised summer internship training for engineering students and graduates, with the participation of 16 trainees over five days. The training aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of wind-farm operation and maintenance, with a strong focus on environmental safety and the protection of migratory birds. RGWE engineers emphasised their continued availability to support the students and answer any questions regarding O&M of wind farms. This training period provided an excellent opportunity for students to develop both their theoretical knowledge and practical skills, with continuous interaction between students and engineers.
The summer training program was a successful and fruitful experience. The students gained extensive knowledge in wind-farm operation and maintenance and were able to apply what they learned through practical activities and site visits. A special thanks to the engineers for their significant efforts and continuous guidance, which greatly contributed to the success of this training period.
Tree Planting to Promote Sustainable Development in Ras Ghareb
