Inside a Rural School Community in Nepal | Partnership, Culture & Daily Life

Описание: In this video, I walk through the community surrounding Shree Gyan Mandir Model Secondary School in Chautara, Sindhupalchok, Nepal, alongside Principal Mr. Punya Prasad Gajurel.
Together, we explore the broader environment that supports the school and its students — from teacher housing and orphan care to local health services and community spaces.

Along the way, we discuss:
The impact of the 2015 earthquake and the rebuilding of the school in under two years
How are orphaned and vulnerable children supported within the community
Local customs, including dietary traditions and daily life in the region
The development of a community center and clinic, supported in part by international funding
Access to healthcare, education, and shared community resources
The connection between this region and Kathmandu via the newly developed roads

We also visit:
Teacher housing and student living areas
A local urgent care clinic
A community center for both youth and the elderly
The school campus, including classrooms and technology such as smart learning monitors
Mr. Gajurel also shares his experience studying in the United States, including time at a university in Montana, and how those experiences have influenced his leadership and vision for the school.
This visit marks an important step in the development of StoryBridge Nepal, as we work together to build a meaningful partnership that will bring university students to collaborate with local students through storytelling, cultural exchange, and education.
This is what building a program on the ground truly looks like.
