Our three-day training on 'Digital Teaching and Learning' has been successfully completed in the village of Lelep in Eastern Nepal.

We express our thanks and best wishes to all those involved and look forward to seeing the progress in the region.

We are proud to be supporting education initiatives in Eastern Nepal with a range of training opportunities for local teachers.

From Mukti Limbu, Mayor of Faktanglung Rural Municipality:

“Today the world is continuously moving forward with the rapid pace of modern technology. The world is setting new dimensions of development through artificial intelligence, digital education, information technology and innovation. But if we cannot change ourselves according to the demands of time, we risk being limited to the movement of a turtle amidst a fast-running world.”

📸 The last few days in remote East Nepal.

We have reconnected with so many wonderful people and met plenty of amazing new people too. Stay tuned for more photos as we continue our time alongside the communities we work with.

My heart is full having just returned from the first of two visits to some of the communities that we work alongside here in Nepal. We were welcomed with love and gratitude by people who literally stopped us on the road to thank us. We received hundreds of khata scarves and flower necklaces which I accepted on behalf of our amazing supporters.

I was able to see firsthand the impact your support means to the people we work with and I look forward to sharing some stories with you from my time away soon.
