What a celebration! I am truly humbled. The whole village attended and showered us all, with their smiles, music and truly warm appreciation.

Thanks to all who have helped make this possible…Krishna (our Nepali Guide and Friend), Convent Taiping Seventy six, AUG’s staff and Institution partners, Family and Friends.

Thank you all. Here are some photos of the ceremony.

Extract from CP and Shirley :-

We are honoured to be invited to a once in a life time event. The official opening of the school at Dhading was made possible by the tenacity of Tin Wong and friends.

We became important “Ministers” that day, the villagers showered us with Music, performances and warm hospitality, a memory we will hold for a long time.

Once again…Dhanya baht Alice & Tin
