Our October 2019 Build and Trek expedition took place at a remote village on the very edge of the mountains. Fifteen bold friends and colleagues joined us, who between them had raised the funds to underwrite the cost of the project. Six new classrooms were desperately needed at the Narayani school, where 20-30 children were squeezed into make-shift classrooms about the size of a single garage. 

​

After a rather hairy 8 hour drive in a bus that really wasn’t up to the steep terrain,
we arrived at dusk and established base camp just outside the village. An idyllic
walk each day through the village helped us get to know the villagers quickly, who were quick to realise that this team of Brits enjoyed a beer or two at the end of a
long day on the building site. Thus two enterprising shop keepers quickly took on stock and their shops/hostelries were immediately labelled the Kings Arms and
the Rose and Crown… 

​

The team laboured in the hot sun to get the necessary ground works in place so that the more skilled Nepali building team could get cracking. The classrooms are now in service, the school fully operational and working well.
