PENPAL PROJECT - MEETING WITH CHILDREN IN DURHAM

January has been a happy month for Miss Stella Saunders' class in St Pius X Primary School in Consett, County Durham, England ... it's the month they received letters from the children at EEBS School in Bijeshwori, Kathmandu. Rod Walker went to visit them, took this photo for you all to see, and answered lots of questions about life in Nepal. It was very interesting. Now the English children will write more letters. They had just sent some, the day before the meeting. Everyone keep looking at the blog, we'll be putting more news up on it as new things happen.

VISITING THE WHITE MONASTERY, JANUARY 2010

In our winter vaccation, we went to white monastry (Druk Monastry). All together we were fourteen. It was our first visit to the monastry & it was like finding the heaven of Nepal. Our journey was adventurous. The hill was slippy and we had to climbed up. Kiran mam was also with us. There was so many statues and fantastical art and paintings.
We all had brought different kinds of food. After we were very hungry, we all shared our food. It will be the memorial day for me. I was missing u a lot there. We enjoyed our journey. We had also clicked some photoes.

NEW PHOTOS!

CATWALK AT EEBS!!!

Dear all,
It is really great to see my students preparing for the catwalk..Actually they are preparing for awareness on environment and sanitation and informative program.But they were concious the parents,guardians may find it boring so for the spicy program they decided to keep one more but very new item for EEBS,i,e catwalk.It is spreading the concious concept for my students about the posture.I never had thought about the postures of the children.I find it interesting so six and seven graders are getting knowledge about the grooming too.Hope this item will be liked by the parents of the students of EEBS.
The colourful and charming festival christmass is appreaing and our program will be held just one day before X-mas.I will certainly try to send you the pictures of this program.
Principal,adminstrative staffs,teachers and all the students of EEBS would like to wish you Merry X-mas and Happy new Year 2010.
Pls keep in touch.
Cheers,
Kiran.

CHILDREN'S DAY AT EEBS!!!

NEW POST FROM DURHAM, ENGLAND,
4th DECEMBER 2009

Hello, Kiran Mam and the Green Eleven (which makes Green Twelve! )

Bandana!

Here's a message from Rod, to let you know I'm in England now - in a city called Durham which has a big cathedral (huge old church), a river and a castle. Near where I live there's a school, and a teacher friend is going to ask her children to send a message to you in Kathmandu. I hope it works, and I'll let you know. Meanwhile, keep watching this blog, and soon I'll put some photos here from England. As you see here, I've fixed the Sitapaila photo a bit ... it's my favourite photo, and it brings back happy memories of our walk up to the monastery with the dog.

Good wishes to you all, from your friend Rod. Take care of yourselves, and the earth!

Speaking of the earth, take a look at website http://www.tocatierra.cl ...

it has some readings. Go into the 'English' side, and on the first page you'll see a moving item that says '5 - Reflections'. Click on that and scroll down ... R

The P.M. Kiran Mam, and ... The Green Twelve!!

Walking well on mother Earth

Here's an event that took place some time ago at EEBS. Only today (9th June) did it finally make its way through Rod Walker's mailbox onto the Blog, but ...

How IMPORTANT it is, when children in groups like Save our Environment - and their teachers - meet their country's leaders, everybody can learn, at every level, and help to find new ways of living well, in balance with our mother Earth

Also, here's a website link for envirnmental education:

Goodbye for now! Hoping we can talk again soon!

Your Green Eleven friend,

Rod
