Funding an English Teacher at Shree Shisakhola School, Nepal

With a friend, I spent a wonderful couple of days at Shree Shisakhola school and the village in a remote and poor area of Nepal. Despite the most basic facilities everyone had big smiles and were most hospitable and welcomed us into their homes. We wanted to help this little village and after discussions with the headmaster and a group of villagers we agreed to fund an English teacher for two years.

Their English was very rudimentary so by helping the children become more fluent it may give more opportunities to continue their education and better work prospects. This in turn would benefit the village as a whole as their young are better educated and able to bring money into the village. Many of the young boys are destined to become porters and damage their bodies carrying extraordinarily heavy loads.

The two years is almost up and after receiving regular videos and reports from my Nepalese contacts I can see there has been huge progress. Thus I have agreed to provide funding for the English teacher for a further two years.

We are blessed to live in a country that provides us with so many benefits and advantages we take for granted and it is difficult to understand how others are living a life that is a continuous struggle to survive. The Nepalese are wonderful, warm people and I feel privileged to know many I can call friends and to be able to help make their lives more comfortable in some small way.

Please help this cause, a little goes a long way
