Yesterday paid a short visit to our fifth supported school, Himalaya Secondary School in the centre of Kathmandu. This school is different from our others in that we support only 65 children out of the full 300 since these are the poorest with little or no personal support from anywhere else. The Head of the school takes in this many impoverished children in additional to those from the permanent community. 
During our visit we entered a science class, Year 8, and I just couldn't resist having a go. These kids all spoke good English which was the medium used for their science lessons, which now includes a session on the periodic table of the elements from Dr B! (Sorry about the blurry picture, it was taken by the regular teacher who was presumably having a good laugh!)
