Flinders University take to the sky in Nepal


COUNTRY: Nepal
PROGRAM: UniBreak Groups
PROJECT: Education
WRITTEN BY: Heidi Stokes, Flinders University

We have had a busy week filled with all sorts of awesome activities. Paragliding was an amazing experience and the views were spectacular. Although we survived the incredible height, many of us felt sick once on the ground again. Totally worth it though! :)

We chose to spend some more of our free time painting a mural in a local school classroom. We chose a fun and educational design and surprised the students upon their return to school the following day. Needless to say they were amazed and so thankful for their bright new classroom.


As far as school goes we are using one another's advice and motivation to push through the hard times. Believe me there are some challenging situations that arise and the language barrier doesn't help. But overall we are adding to our basket of knowledge and skills that we will continue to use throughout our teaching careers. This experience is helping shape some amazing teachers, if I don't say so myself :)
