Khathmandu, Nepal (March, 2013)

The first renovations have been made in early March this year. We started with the Nursery. The school got new carpets and the walls have been repainted. Furthermore, the old and broken tables were repaired and repainted. The 60 year old blackboards in all of 9 classrooms of the school, have been replaced with easy-care whiteboards. One of the old blackboards surprised us with a special Fund: In the alcove behind this blackboard, we found an ancient Hindu statue, which is now exhibited in the Temple of the school.

We have also set up a school library in order to create something special that benefits all children. With the help of students and parents a storage room was cleared. The holes in the walls were plastered, new paint has been applied and we bought a few simple shelves. From the remaining donations we purchased books. Thus, the library is now ready and available to all knowledge-hungry and bookworms. You can follow the renovation work in our gallery.

The next project we are planning is a computer room. But until then – there is still a lot of work to do. Donated laptops have already arrived at school and we found a teacher who will hold computer classes once a week.
