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!
