About Me
- Troy
- I'm a teacher from Victoria who has taken a leave of absence to start a non-profit society and build a school in Nepal. Our goal is to provide educational opportunities for people who would be unable to access it otherwise.
Developing Trash
this is a common site in the streets of Kathmandu. What was harder to see than the garbage was the people going through it to take it home with them.
Kathmandu Beauty
Durbar Square is a beautiful area to relax on a sunny day. Many students and children can be found playing in the square.
Namaste
These 270 students welcomed me to Sanitar - the village where we are building the school - AMAZING!
Village School
I taught an impromptu lesson on Canada to these 76 students living in the remote village of Betinee - a short 6 hour trek from Sanitar.
Village Children
The children of Sanitar came out of their homes to see the oddest thing that has ever walked into their village - "What is it?"
most have never seen a camera before let alone some "white-guy"
Making Brick
Several labourers work hard on making brick from the local dirt for the construction of the school.
Shaping Bricks
After the bricks have sat in the sun to dry for several days, women use knives to scrape off any excess dirt from the edges of the brick. These colorful people sit in this position 7 hours a day, working hard to help provide a brighter future for the children of their village.
Building Schools
