in association with:
School in a Bag and Helambu Education Livelihood Partnership
THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN FORMALLY HANDED OVER TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES
The New Shree Saraswoti School in the Sindhupalchok region in Nepal
The picture above shows the children, parents, local and national officials and members of the Rotary Cub of Yeovil at the formal hand over of the newly built school. The Rotary Club of Yeovil, in conjunction with Rotary District 1200, had started a project to rebuild a school in Helambu Province, Nepal. The cost of the project was £64,000. The project was run by the Nepalese NGO, Helambu Education Livelihood Partnership (HELP) in association with School in a Bag (SIAB) (an initiative run by the UK registered charity, the Piers Simon Appeal) and the Mondo Challenge Foundation (MCF). Luke Simon, from the Rotary Club of Yeovil, is the founder and CEO of School in a Bag and the Piers Simon Appeal. At the handover ceremony, each child was given his/her own 'School in a Bag' with Past President Michael Fernando and current President Caroline Ansell in attendance so see all the smiling faces - and not just those of the children!
