Thanks to many of you, we have been able to support a few improvements to the school in a rural area of Dhading, a 3 hour drive and 2 hours of walking to reach. The government only pay teacher's salaries, nothing else. If there were not a structure, the children would spend their classes on the ground in the shade of some thin trees. What we have been able to help with is the toilets for the children, a flat playground area and some school supplies. From what I saw, this school needs to be re-built. It looks ready to collapse and is in need of proper education facilities. Krishna, the teacher, does an amazing job for the children in classes one to three. Approx 50 children walk as much as 1 hour each way to attend school, which all families support as they know it is their future - to be educated and learn English! Here are some photos for you to see a bit of what I saw.
Stay tuned for a new show in Spring - perhaps we can raise some more funds to help with this project.
On behalf of the students and families of Dhading, thanks again for all your support!
