Building a future
The new school’s initial construction projects are complete. The new structure will include 10 rooms, including a kitchen, dining room, and bathroom, and will be earthquake-proof. In order to provide students with an appropriate school-leaving certificate, the school will be expanded to grade 10. Headmaster Namgyal Lama plans the lessons, which adhere to the government of Nepal’s curriculum. There are classes in Nepali, English, math, general knowledge, and sports. Tibetan language and writing, traditional music and dances, and Buddhist lessons are taught to maintain the culture, which is in danger of disappearing because the majority of the students are Sherpa. It is projected that reconstructing the school will cost 80,000 euros in total.
