Corin Hardcastle first visited Melamchi Ghyang village and school for six months over winter-spring 2012-13. During that first visit he set up a computer teaching room in the school and begain to train students and teachers in computing and IT skills. He has since visited another seven times, for a total of fifteen months to further develop the work which now focusses on training teachers and head teachers in the disctrict in using computers and IT in education.
Things were going really well until 25 April 2015 when the earthquake struck, whilst Corin was at the school. The charity responded to the earthquake appeal with immediate support for the village and the school. The school quickly re-established teaching in temporary buildings and were able to house students in temporary accomodation. The charity visited in 2016 to discuss how the IT and computer training could continue and spread out to schools across the municiple district.
Since early 2017 Yolmo Connect have re-commenced support and delivery of training in IT and computer skills for teachers, from schools across the district, and have witnessed the school and village being rebuilt with earthquake proof biuldings. Delivery of training is through skilled Nepali IT teachers and is based at Melamchi Ghyang School made possible through the support of head teacher Purna Gautam and donations from UK supporters.
