Mountain Village Schools

When our student missionary, Jenny Miss, whose departure "was" two posts ago, went on a trek with her father, she took the following pictures for me of two schools they passed by in the beautiful Himalayas.  Thanks a million Jenny!!!

Here's a nice little village they came across tucked into the mountains.


Quickly they made friends with the kids walking to school.

These brothers were having a little disagreement.  (Boys will be boys!)

What was the view like?  Take a look!  (I don't know about you, but I sure think this is a great view to see while walking to school!)

Here is the playground--what a nice place to play!  :)  I suppose when a ball goes over the fence--well, it's a long way to go and fetch it!

Here's the campus

and more kids coming.

Let's look inside a classroom.

I think it's nice.

Now, for the office.
:)

Jenny took a last look at the view with the kids.

Then they went on their way...

...and here is a last glimpse of the school.
Goodbye little friends and good luck in your future!!!

Next up was this nice school.
Here we see who one of the founders of this school was!

If you read the sign, you'll see that their art work is for sale.  (I'd love to have something from there!)
Let's see...what does that little sign on the bell say?
:)

Let's go inside a classroom.

Hmmm...where are the children?  That classroom was empty, and so is this playground.

Oh, here they are!  They're having class outside, because it's warmer outside than inside!  (Sometimes some of the classes in my school meet outside too during the winter.)

We wish you well kids!  May all your dreams come true!

If you haven't read the previous Education posts, you may want to.  Check them out in the "Labels" section.  One of them tells about the history of education in Nepal.

I feel so blessed to be able to work with the lovely children of this country in the little school here on our campus.  I love all of them!!! 

To anyone reading this who is helping to support our school, (or any school for that matter!)
THANK YOU!!!

  1. I love your pictures and getting to know the Himalayas a little. Why does it say "open your shoes?"

  2. Amazing!! Those stunning sights are just incredible. I can´t imagine living in such a place. Our country is so flat it´s a total opposite from where you live.The schools look pretty well kept and I´m glad you are there to help give those little one a good education. God bless!
