Life at the innovative Diktel school!! What a discovery!

After a long long long trek, in the Everest region and on the way to Diktel, we arrived in the Kothang region to live a few days with Madan Rai's students. This is a very innovative school (see more explanations in Madan's portrait). Boys and girls live in harmony over there having each some responsibilities: cutting grass, feeding the animals, growing fruits & vegetables, cooking, cleaning... etc...etc together with studying the "normal" classes. As Madan would like they tend to use both their brain & their hands ;-) The kids, teenagers, young men and women seem to be very mature and entrepreneurial for their young ages. We think that the result is impressive. Anyway we would like to thank all the kids and Madan for this great experience. When we will be back in London we should become occasional teachers using Skype from time to time. Another great experience....Once again we can say that this world trip project  was an excellent idea ;-) Finally we were there during a very popular Nepalese festival called Dipawali (Light's festival) so see in the usual sections pics on this: Visit the Nepal page! Or the Foodies and Portraits pages.
