Galem
This year we visited Galem 5 times, sticking to our ethos of not taking more than 25 people a year. This has worked out well as the reception we have is exceptional and genuine. This experience of the real Nepal has had a dramatic affect on the pilots we have taken up there.This year the sponsorship program that we established, where any pilot can sponsor a kid from the school for the year, expanded massively. We now have 20 children from the Shree Sitala Lower Secondary School Galem in sponsorship. We take the best achieving kids from the poorest families and pay for their school year. This costs about £45 a year and means the difference between them going to school or not.
A good friend of Frontiers, Paul Roberts went on my behalf to the School prize giving day. He took his folks who were so impressed with the school that they decided to pay for all the children’s school uniforms. That’s over 240 kids kit!! Thanks guys, that’s more than generous.
