| History
of Yangrima School: |
Escaping
the Gorkha-Guerilla War which broke out in Darjeeling,
India, in the early 1980's, a few young Nepali-Indians
arrived in Sermathang a village situated in Helambu
at the altitude of 2700m. They started living in
the village in exchange for giving some tutoring
to the local youth and children. In due course,
when villagers felt the importance of a good school
to educate their children in the village, energy
turned to establishing Yangrima School. Later, a
local young man called Gopal Lama who was doing
higher study in Kathmandu with his incredible feat
took over as the founder-principal of the School,
and since then, Yangrima saw one miracle after another. |
Yangrima
School was successful in bringing the world to its
door through various avenues of volunteering programs
and exchange programs. It was one of the schools
in the nation that promoted cultural understanding
all around the globe. The students of the School,
though confined to a far-off hill-station, were
practicing international friendship. Yangrima also
played a vital role in instilling the feeling of
cultural preservation in its students, and had become
a catalyst in helping locals get some income-generating
opportunities. Yangrima School was supplemented
with a number of modern buildings in less than a
decade with the support of a volunteers' initiative
to apply for funding from Cambridge University.
Yangrima sent its first original batch to sit for
SLC examination in 1998 and thereafter kept on achieving
remarkable results until it was doomed to collapse
at gunpoint in 2001. However, the spirit of Yangrima
School even after its closure did not fade away.
It rather multiplied in numerous forms. Yangrima
Ex-Students Society (YESS) was born in Kathmandu
to do what you are reading today. Yangrima School
kept on showing its color until late with some remarkable
achievements made by its ex-students, including
the UK International Student Award Winner 2006 and
the winner of Everest Marathon 2005, both of whom
credit their success to their early good upbringing
at Yangrima School. |

There
are more than enough reasons WHY YANGRIMA SCHOOL must
be brought into existence. It is for nothing less
than the global benefit as it has the power to create
internationally-competent human resources through
its education and environment!!
Therefore, we call you to support us, to help this
School regain its miraculous track, so that the multitudes
of children who have been denied education have the
opportunity to build their strong future.
