It would be wrong to think that the school only caters for destitute children, there is a good mix of sponsored, fee paying pupils and boarders. Children from all the ethnic and religious groups are to be found. The school is an asset locally as it provides education and employment for the local peoples. The presence of ethnic Nepali, Lepcha, Tibetan and Bhutanese pupils provide rich and diverse learning environment. The Anglo-Indian community in India is increasingly being marginalised and work for the main wage earner is becoming more difficult to find.
New equipment is needed so that the children can be taught the skills needed by their generation.
Young people with appropriate skills can spend a term teaching and helping at the school. Do something really worthwhile.
