The benefits of libraries in schools

As a trustee with the role of improving teaching, learning and resources in 35 schools, it is always rewarding when you can witness an immediate impact. A little while ago the provision of lunch boxes ensured children did not go hungry, stayed in school and focused on their learning for the whole of each day....

After several years of work, and following a decision made in 2022 to initiate the change, the Board of Trustees voted in December to approve the change of legal structure of the charity to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation or “CIO”.

Lunchboxes – A Solution to a Problem

We may not have the fondest memories of our school lunches when we were children.  I suspect, however, that they were more important to the rhythm of our day than we remember.  When a group of Trustees travelled to the Taplejung District of Nepal in 2018, a number of the schools we visited asked if...

Transforming Health in Yamphudin

The story of Yamphudin is one of remarkable change. Our health team were met with very poor, remote mountain villagers desperate for our help during our first visit in 2015.
