Shram Rastriya Public School

During early exploration of educational opportunities in Kathmandu, Catherine Wood discovered a gem. Mr. Narayan Nepal is the energetic and ambitious headmaster at the Shram Rastriya Public School in Kathmandu. His enthusiasm and hard work has earned his school recognition as the best public school in Nepal. With the same modest budget as other public schools, he manages to get more out of his teachers, parents and students.

Catherine decided early on that it was a good idea to check in with Mr. Nepal during her visits and looked for ways to be supportive of his efforts. Mr. Nepal told Catherine that his dream was to have a computer lab for his students. At the time he proposed the lab he did not actually have a room available, but he pledged to make a room available and Bright Futures Foundation pledged to provide ten computers to get the program started. While Bright Futures Foundation worked to gather funds in the US, Mr. Nepal organized his volunteers and school supporters to build a room for the computers. When the room was completed, Bright Futures Foundation provided 10 new computers and support for the teacher engaged to teach the computer class. Board members and friends witnessed the first computer class during their visit in 2007.
