Our school grew this week as 15 new women and children moved to Her Farm. All were referred to us by an NGO working in another part of Nepal. The NGO had discovered the women and children in the course of work they are doing to rebuild from the quakes. The women of Her Farm are learning photography and videography (see our project Her Farm Films) and sent a short video showing how crowded our classes are becoming with all the new residents of Her Farm. The video is short but was created 100% by the women of Her Farm and it is a wonderful first for them.
Our school may soon become even busier, if that's possible. In addition to the many children who come for the morning program, the nearly 20 children in full-time residence at Her Farm and the 60-70 children from the local school who come to the farm each day for lunch, we may soon have to become a temporary school for the entire village. The local school sustained damage in the quakes. There's really no way to repair it and hold classes at the same time. We are working now with an engineer to design a building at Her Farm that can be used as the temporary village school while the current school is repaired. Stay tuned to our updates for more on that soon.
