After a journey lasting more than two weeks, Raymund Prins returned to the Netherlands in the 2nd week of January.

During his trip he visited the schools that receive support from Global textware and others. The Kaparphori school in the village of Ratnanagar has almost completed its reconstruction. At this moment, the finishing touch is being put to the toilet buildings that have been completely modernized. Last year, Global textware enabled the realization of a computer area. The toilet building and computer area are shown on the adjoining photos.

The new project involves the Belsi school, which is also situated in Chitwan and not far from Ratnanagar. The floor plans are ready and the part that is to be reconstructed has already been demolished. In addition, the school will accommodate a library and other basic sanitary and medical amenities. In conjunction with the co-ordinator of the project, Ram Prasad Rijal, and the school construction team, the work was carried out under the watchful eyes of the schoolchildren.

At the end of the journey, Prins could contentedly confirm that the support was not only desperately needed but also well spent.

Global textware has supported educational projects in Nepal for the past three years. During the Christmas vacation, Raymund Prins paid a personal visit to the projects. See his photos:
