Himalayan Project støttede i 2004 skolen med 25 bøger "English for Preprimary Level" og 25 bøger "English medium Mathematics for Primary School". I alt 300 Kr som har givet skolen et skub fremad for mange år frem.

I 2006 gav vi skolen en symaskine og stof til fremstilling af 35 sæt skoleuniformer. Nu vil skolekomiteen lave en sygruppe for både mænd og kvinder, som skal fremstille uniformer og sælge dem til forældrene, således at der både bliver til arbejdsløn og til indkøb af nyt stof.

I 2007 afholdt Køge Nord Rotary Klub en koncert, som gav et pænt overskud, som straks blev øremærket til udvidelse og opgradering af Solung Preprimary School. Først og fremmest skyndte de sig at udvide skolegården, for det var håbløst at være selvhenter på den smalle plads over en mange hundrede meter dyb skråning. Der skal også hænges et net op langs med kanten. I efteråret skal der bygges en ny bygning, der skal rumme kontor, fysiklokale, lager og forsamlingshus, hvor der også skal være faciliteter til liggende gæster. Og endelig skal de have et ordentligt lokum med badefaciliteter, for selv om det er en flok pragtfulde børn, så kunne de godt trænge til et varmt bad engang imellem.

I november 2007 aflagde vi kontrolbesøg i Solung Læs Monitoring Report October 2007.

I løbet af foråret 2008 blev den nye skolefløj bygget og smukt indrettet med lunende og isolerende trævægge. Og midt i April stod rhododendronerne i blomt i 2900 meters højde.

I efteråret 2008 var skolen færdigbygget. Et smukt stykke kvalitetsarbejde som vi stå i 100 år. Læs den afsluttende Project Report med det fulde regnskab for byggeriet.

Men køerne gik ind og ødelagde beplantning og nettet omkring skolegården skulle op i fuld højde, så Køge Nord Rotary Klub besluttede at give en sidste ekstra donation for at fuldføre projektet. Læs Project Description.

Endelig i 2011 kunne vi afslutte projektet. Læs Final Project Report.

Solung is a very small village midway between Ringmo and Junbesi. The villagers are poor and aren't supportive to the school. Lhakpa Tenzing Lama did build the Preprimary School (up to 3. class) with help from outside. He got the approval from Government to run the school with one teacher; him self. He received a little educational materials from Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust, but the rest he have bought from his own money. The students are very happy with their school and their teacher - and he with them.

Himalayan Project have supported the school in 2004 with 25 books "English for Perprimary Level" and 25 books "English medium Mathematics for Primary Level". In total 50$ which have given the school a push forward many years ahead.

In 2006 we gave the school committee a sewing machine and fabrics for 35 sets of uniform. Now the committee will produce the uniforms, selling them for the parents and gaining enough surplus to have a little salary and buying new fabrics for next sets.

In 2007 Køge Nord Rotary Klub supported an upgrading of the school. First of all the long needed extension of the playground, where the ball before regularly disappeared down the several hundred meters deep scree. There also will be established a net along the edge. In autumn they will start constructing a new house with schools Office, store room, Science lab and Community Room where the whole village can gather, and there shall also be facilities for sleeping guests. And finally there shall be established a proper toilet with bathing facilities. Though the kids are extremely healthy and plendid, they could need a hot shower some times. Read the Project Description.

In autumn 2007 we visited the place. Read the Monitoring Report October 2007.

During spring 2008 the new school wing were established and nicely decorated with insolating and beautiful looking wooden ceiling. By mid April the rhododendron is blooming in 2900 meter height. Read the Monitoring Report April 2008.

in autumn 2008 the construction process were completed. A really beautiful and long lasting construction. Read the final Project Report with the full account on the project.
