Update

We had a very successful field visit to Dhading from the 5th of November, 2012 to to 9th November, 2012. All the 6th Form students of the British School worked extremely hard showing utmost dedication, teamwork and excellent problem solving skills while doing the development work for the three chosen schools. We had three teachers accompanying, who were also of tremendous help. We undertook a variety of projects such as supplying one school's toilet with water to fencing one of the schools fully. All in all, it was a huge success and we hope that we can work on this year's work in the future and take our involvement in the community to a whole new level.
More follow up detailed information coming up.. stay tuned folks!

The Plan


2012 Visit (5th November to 9th November)

Khannigan Primary School

·         Get a compost pit operational and teach them how to keep it functioning for their own benefits
·         Awareness Programme on importance of hygiene and sanitation and other general well being
·         Supply the school with text and exercise books and other stationary material which will help in the students’ learning
·         Re-energize the already existing Green Club (Unique Child Club) with awareness programme on the environment. Set it up for a long term plan, which can be monitored in future visits. (Check manual)
·         Painting the classroom, what we will paint should be decided on before we are actually in Dhading.
·         Possible get carpets for the floors in the school
·         Set up a Sports Club (Check the Manual)
·         Interacting session with the teachers, ask them how they teach and provide inputs on how they may be able to improve in their pre-existing skills
·         If mid-day meals are provided in the school, set up a kitchen garden
·         Incinerator?

Gaitridevi Primary School

·         Again, get a compost pit operational for the school alongside a small kitchen garden if the school provides mid-day meals to the children
·         Building a fence
·         As they need help with the unfinished building, funds is what they need most to carry on with the construction work. So fundraising?
·         Set up a Green Club for the school along with a Sports Club, which will then be run by a member of staff, who will be trained by one of the students, who will then carry it on further. (Once a week?)
·         Incinerator – Rubbish management system, make the students/teachers aware
·         Again, bring in stationary material alongside some posters.
·         Organise an health and hygiene programme for the students for general awareness
·         General Interaction session with the teachers, have a look at what is possible to do for the future years.
