Winter school uniforms for pupils in Suntakhan
November 18, 2017
Akasha Academy NGO in cooperation with the Long Yang e.V., has been supporting the Shree Suntakhan Secondary School in Gorkaneshwor, Kathmandu, with new school uniforms for the winter.
As part of our charitable work, Akasha Academy NGO in cooperation with the German Long Yang e.V., has been supporting the Shree Suntakhan Secondary School in Gorkaneshwor, Kathmandu, for several years now. During a recent visit to the school, we could convince ourselves of the progress: From pre-school to college, all classrooms are filled with pupils who are learning enthusiastically and highly motivated with skilled and cordial teachers. You may be surprised how in Nepal the lower classes recite the alphabet or some texts fully-throated, while the upper classes concentrate on the exams ahead. In the last two years, the number of students has more than doubled, the range of subjects taught has been expanded, and the graduations of the pupils are well above the average in the region.
The principal of the school was pleased with the success, but he has further big plans, and in addition to the need for a library, he has remarked that there is need for winter clothing for the growing number of pupils. For many children from poor families, these are the only warm clothes for the winter. Therefore we are happy to have provided the school with new school uniforms for the winter.
