Mail by Runner 112: Himalayan Pen Pals

Students throughout Solukhumbu have such an incredible passion for education... it's infectious! The Himalayan Trust has been supporting the students from this school in Thame village with:

• Stationery and schoolbooks
• Scholarships
  
• Teacher training
  
• Classroom improvements and renovations

But during our recent visit we brought with us drawings from New Zealand students as part of Himalayan Trust member Trish Sexton's penpal programme. 

The students here in Thame were delighted to catch a glimpse into the lives of students in Wellington and we can't wait to see were this takes us.
