Arrival day
Tsharka's school year is fully underway. But well before the summer term starts in this high Himalayan village, dozens of heavy bags of school materials are prepared in Kathmandu. The bags are transported to Tsharka, where all the books, notebooks, and study materials for the school year must be opened, organized and distributed. Teachers and older students all get involved. Students study in regular classrooms, and also in the computer lab. Although Tsharka School does not have access to internet, students learn how to use computers and work with downloaded information. In the good summer weather, students do morning exercises in the courtyard.

New School Year Begins
By Barbara Euser | Project Leader
![]()
On April 25, Tsharka School teachers began their spring trek to Tsharka via Mustang. With them are all the teaching materials for this year's classes, as well as building materials for construction of a new toilet block.
This year, Tsharka School has a total of ten staff, including seven teachers (in addition to the two teachers provided by the District Education Office), our School Coordinator and two cooks, one for the student hostel and one for the teachers. This is the first year that every staff member is fully sponsored by a combination of non-profit organizations.
ICDF believes the teachers and staff are the most important part of the school: education is the information that passes between students and teachers.
ICDF has been funding teachers and staff at Tsharka School for twenty-three years.
We especially appreciate our donors who support Tsharka School month after month and year after year.
Persistence and long-term commitment are the basis of Tsharka School's success.
Thank you for joining us on this journey!

Tsharka School Thriving
By Barbara Euser | Project Leader
The elementary/middle school in Tsharka that the International Community Development Foundation began supporting in 2004 -- over 20 years ago -- is going strong. Supported by donations from all over the world, we have built new solar-heated classrooms that allow us to teach classes during more months of the year. As we have built new classrooms, we have increased the faculty. We now have students who have completed middle school in Tsharka and attend highschool classes in Kathmandu while living at our hostel there. ConsIstency and persistence are the keys to Tsharka' School's success. Our energetic School Coordinator has now worked for a full decade improving the quality of education for our students. We are looking forward to a successful new year ahead!
