The focus of the NTNP is to support development projects in Nepal. The first of these will be to construct a new classroom building for an overcrowded school in Thansing Village where Neal taught in 2008.
Thansing village is located in the southwest corner of the Lamjung district, sitting at an altitude of 1250m. The school is currently attended by 476 pupils from dozens of surrounding mountain villages. Many walk for four hours daily over narrow and precarious paths to attend lessons. The GWT identified it as one in need of improvement
To build the new classrooms we need to raise £55,000.
