organized Picnic in Yangrima School: |
YESS
brought a bunch of ex-students in Yangrima school
on 1st of January 2007 to celebrate picnic all the
way from kathmandu also prepared to mark the initial
step towards supporting Yangrima to reopen. After
three days of picnic, there was a round of discussion
with local people from several villages. The outcome
was that everyone who presented showed their support
and commitement to help rebuild and restart the
School. We also had a big cleaning workshops around
the School, which certainly reduced the dense of
bushes. |

A
high school students from Canada led by our friends
Rob and Judy visited Yangrima School towards the end
of March 2007 as a part of their community service
work. They were joined by YESS group to Yangrima School
to perform various cleaning works. They also made
a initial donation of Candian Dollars 2000 to rebuild
the School. The visit was followed by a formation
of ad hoc local management committee to help restart
the School. The namelists of the committee members

| YESS
members succesfully traced the stoled roof: |
Sadly
a group of gangster looted the roof of Yangrima
School despite of the wide information that Yangrima
School is being reopened soon. However, coordinators
and few members of YESS to oversee the Yangrima
school reopening project caught them and succesfully
refixed the roofs. We are thankful to the local
management committee teams for helping throughout
the process. However, it gave a message to more
people about the activity of YESS on this regard
and those people also regreted for doing so and
have pledged us word not to repeat any such activities
in the future. |

| Round
Table Discussion held in YESS to consolidate our role
to reopen Yangrima School: |
|
|
YESS
held a round table discussion on 21st September to
further our discussion on several underlying issues
on Yangrima School. There we agreed on the idea that
the School should be proposed to restart from secondary
stage rather starting from the Kintergarden. That
means, YESS will continuously support and build projects
to improve the education of local schools in the surrounding
of Yangrima School. We strongly believed that it has
to be a Trust who will run the whole activities of
the School. The briefing of activities related to
Yangrima School was also made by our coordinator Tashi
Lama on how he and his team were succesful in putting
back the looted roofs and on the legal works they
retained so far. |
