Interview with a Graduate from the Sankhu-Palubari Community School
On September 29th, The Advocates hosted a virtual event titled "Making Dreams Reality at the Sankhu Palubari Community School". This event featured discussion on the Sankhu Palubari Community School in Nepal. The Sankhu-Palubari Community School (SPCS) is a pre-K through 10th grade school located in the rural Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. Founded by The Advocates for Human Rights in 1999 and operated in partnership with Educate the Children-Nepal and the local community, the school provides a genuine alternative to child labor to 375 of the most vulnerable students in the area. By providing a completely free, high-quality education, as well as a daily meal, the school makes the right to education a reality for hundreds of Nepali children.
A full recording of the event can be viewed here.
