The Shree Janapriya school

The School was set up several years ago as a community project where many members of the community bought in shares to raise the funds to buy land and build classrooms. Now there are around 200 pupils from ages 6 to 17. The curriculum is in English and taught in a mixture of English and Nepali. While the school is successful and results are good for the area, the value of having a native (or fluent experienced) English speaker is great: conversations become real, motivation to speak increases due to curiosity and pronunciation and fluency can hopefully improve.

Additionally there is the value of bringing an alternative world view. This is a rural environment and apart from the Hollywood films shown on TV (of those families that have) the outside world remains outside.

The classrooms are very basic and this is an ongoing project to improve the facilities. Enthusiasm is high however!
