Jana Priya School Volunteers

Namaste to Everyone!
The Himalayan Education Development Project is proud to report that we will be having 6 teacher/volunteers trekking to Lumsa, Nepal this spring and summer to volunteer at The Jana Priya Secondary School located in the remote village of Lumsa. In order to get to the school, they will fly from Kathmandu, Nepal to the remote airstrip at Phaplu and then trek for two days to Lumsa.
Terry Edeli, a retired Teacher/Administrator and Curriculum specialist, will be coming in March and spending 3 weeks working with the teachers and administrators there on various techiniques of instruction.
Mike Nicholson, an AP Global Studies,U.S History Teacher, will be in Lumsa from June 15 until late July and will be working with the teachers there teaching Global Studies and English.
Jen Janowsky, a student at Southwestern High School, will be in Lumsa for 2 weeks in July as an assistant to Mike Nicholson. In addition, her parents, Eric Snabl and Sandy Meyers Snabl will be with her also, volunteering their services at the school and throughout the village.
I will be coming along also, as assistant trip leader. My wife, Sue will be with me also and hopefully bringing her talents as a violin teacher to the students and villagers!
It has been an incredible few months of planning!
Amber Tamang will be the trip leader as we all trek to and volunteer our services to the people of the village that is his home!
Our Best to Everyone!
