Today marks 10 years since the devastating earthquake in Nepal, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale. Thousands lost their lives and communities were shattered. But from the rubble, hope and resilience rose 💛#EarthquakeResistantClassrooms #EducationNepal http://www.citcnepal.org/donate

A lovely video from CITC sponsored teacher Yamuna, showcasing the newly completed library at Shree Chheskam School 📚
Thanks to the fantastic fundraising efforts of the Leicestershire Scouts, this bright and welcoming space features child-friendly furniture and fittings, hand crafted by skilled local carpenters.
The shelves are now filled with inspiring books to spark curiosity and encourage reading for pleasure. 💖

Reading for enjoyment helps build confidence, strengthen literacy, support wellbeing and foster a lifelong love of learning and the new library will benefit the whole school community.

Special thanks to CITC trustee/library specialist Cathie for her invaluable role in setting up the library, from its presentation to carefully cataloguing the books.

We’re so proud to see this wonderful new resource open for the children and staff at Shree Chheskam! #NewLibrary #ReadingforPleasure #EducationNepal
