Chobar School
Chobar School Extension - Completed March 2008
Chobar School was initially
located in the small village of Chobar in a rented room in the basement
of a small house. In 2001, the school requested assistance to build a
new School
of their own which could accommodate more pupils and the following year, a team of 14
volunteers from Jersey Overseas Aid
worked alongside
local people to build the School in March 2002.
In 2006/7, the Juniper Trust raised a futher £5000 to complete building of additional space to cater for the demand from local pupils wishing to attend. As well as extra classrooms, a surrounding wall and gate were built to help with the security for the School.
Six years on from the initial building project Chobar School is a thriving centre of education for Helpless Children in the district. The education for the pupils is free and the pupils are hand picked, many being orphans or from very deprived backgrounds. The school is situated in the Kathmandu Valley and occupies a quiet hillside location overlooking the city. The School has a total of 3 teaching staff, 1 matron and a guard who is employed by the Juniper Trust. The Juniper trust is currently raising £1600 for equipment, which it hopes to present to the school in October 2008
