Dolpo
is situated in the very remote West of Nepal, many
days walking distance from the nearest roads or
electricity. Previously, families who wanted to give
their children an education had to send them outside of
their region to Kathmandu City or India, which almost
none could afford. Now education is available to all
families, locally and within their own culture and
control. Thanks to the central situation at the crossing
of several trade routes, Tapriza Culture School is
within reach from all over Dolpo. The school furthers
contacts and meetings between different villages, and it
has become a focal point for the entire community.
Parents visit often, and participate enthusiastically in
school activities.
