I was
interested to involve in education field because my two elder brothers also
were in teaching. I planned to establish a school myself because I could run it in my modality
.I wanted open a English medium school
as there was no attraction of parents towards government school due to Nepali medium. Parents
wanted their child to educated in
English medium school. So I established Blue Sky Public school in 1996.I opened
this school in a simple collage. Due to financial problems I could not give any
other facilities except education in English medium. My plan was to attract two
types’ parents. One group was those parents who could pay good money to run
school and the other group was low economic people who would need a good
education. But I could not admit first group because I could not provide the
facilities according to their interest for their children. Most of children
were from poor family. The school was facing great problem. The government of
Nepal does not support any help to private school .They can be run only by
school fees, donation and sponsorship. I would arrange a well equipped library
for children and computer lab and science lab. There were only 5/6 books at my
office. I was looking for any helping hands to develop this school. In 2003, I
met my Australian friend David Rusk who was a principal in Adelaide, South
Australia. He was very interested to my school as he saw the poor condition of
the school. I thank to God for sending such good man at my school. David spent
some hours at my school on that day. He gave me a positive response what he
could do. He sent his friend Margaret Congram from Rotary club Black wood, South
Australia with some help. I was very happy to welcome Margaret at my school.
She was very impressed with my students who were smile and happy at school. She
remarked my library with five books that she still talks as we meet. She
arranged some books for students. We
talked some future plan for school. I was talking to David too about school by
email. He found sponsors for two children at first. He visited my school in
2007 with a group of Rotarian. He was chief guest of an award ceremony of my
school. He talked his friends to raise the fund for Blue Sky School as he
returned Australia. Margaret came again at my school in 2008 with some help.
She arranged some computers, furniture, ping pong board and floor repairing.
She sponsored three children herself. She is continuing her visit to school.
David has sponsored 4 children from his family. He found 67 sponsor’s for
needed and worthy student’s . With his help now we have a well equipped library
and display board with his help. He provided me three months training program
in South Australia through his Rotary Club of Brown hill where I visited about
16 different schools . It was my great
opportunity of my life. I had great chance to learn many things about school
management and teaching technique. Now school has rented a better building
.Many friends from Australia, German, Slovakia, USA are helping my school to
develop it. I need a well equipped science and computer lab. My dream is to
make this school a best school in this area and provide quality education for
poor student’s . I request all friends to work together to support my campaign.
I would like a special thanks to all friends who helped my school.
