Malagiri School Project, Nepal
Some of our children took part in The Show at the Pavilion to help to raise money to build a school in Nepal. The village is called Malagiri. There has been a general strike in Nepal which has held up the building but they hope to start again soon. Many of the materials come from India which makes building slow and the terrain is very difficult as you can see from the photographs.
The school is desperately needed because otherwise small children cannot go to school because they are a long way away. This also prevents their parents from working, or stops the older children being able to go to school because they have to look after younger siblings.
We have received a copy of a thank you email from Pema Dorjee, a Tibetan Bhuddist monk, who is the founder of the project.
