School Cultural Day Concert

The school held a concert in November 2009 to welcome the arrival of  several members of the Helambu Project.

Matt Dodds, Pearl Wight and Mike Steven

and family from Helambu UK were introduced not just to the school for the first time, but also to the wider Helambu Project team including Chris Limburg, Danielle Preiss, and Daniel Coyle from Helambu USA and Volunteer Coordinator Ola Perczynska.

This was an extraordinary 3-hour concert in which the children performed traditional songs and dances from their region, even singing some songs in English.

Indeed, most amazing of all was that the entire show was compeered in both Nepalese and English by two of the pupils.

There were also presentations of certificates recognizing the hard work and support of some of the villagers with speeches from the headmaster and teachers.
