<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>It has been a particularly difficult winter in Nepal, and massive storms have damaged the classrooms we built last year for the village of Bakhapalam, in the Himalayan foothills.</p> <p>Eight new classrooms were completed in 2011, at a cost of around &pound;35,000. Prior to them being built, children as young as 10 had to walk up to two hours each day to attend the nearest Lower Secondary School.&nbsp;</p> <p>The local community are so proud of the new school, however due to the recent damage two of the classrooms were rendered unusable. The new school term begins in April, and it is going to cost around &pound;850 to make the repairs required.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">CitC have offered to pay for the materials, at a cost of &pound;500, with the local community meeting the &pound;350 required to pay for the labour needed to make the repairs.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">We would be very grateful for any help you can give us to raise this &pound;500.</p> <p>We are also hosting a charity quiz in Ludlow, Shropshire on Thursday April 12th to raise funds for the repairs.
