School begun!

Following the completion of a construction process that began in September, the first wave of students in Gangkharka’s new board ing school arrived

in the village from Kathmandu.

The students were thrilled to return to their home region after living and learning at a private school in Kathmandu. Now closer to culture and family, they will have access to a quality education that will simultaneously encourage the preservation of traditional practices and lay the foundation for the skills they will need to keep their villages pristine and prosperous for generations to come. For now, there are 55 children enrolled at the school with another 35 to follow soon.

Their ages range from as young

as 4 to 11.
