Lunchboxes – A Solution to a Problem

Adapting and learning in mountain schools during Covid

Like in the UK, schools in the Taplejung region of Nepal had to close to students. It was heart-breaking to think all the progress children and young people made thanks to our teacher training, improved learning environments and growing attendance rates was going to be jeopardised as a result of this virus.  Fortunately, we were...
