The villages that we identified as the neediest of education were Arubote, Badeli, Peepal Danda and Jore Chautara. At the initial stage construction was started at Arughati,the next phases will be at Badali then Peepal Danda. We estimate to educate 350 students at the primary level.The total cost for the construction of the school will be borne by Makalu Adventure, Bernhard Buehler from Switzerland, Roy Francis from UK, Tony Arden from UK and Geraldine Sweeney USA.
Our Community service is going ahead. A group of 13 volunteers have come all the way from Switzerland to help in the reconstruction of 3 schools in Nuwakot district.
