One day we went to a rural school on the way from Bakhtapur to Changu Narayan. It was erected with the help of an Italian organization and the Italians had also been volunteering in the school for 10 months. However, the level of English among the teachers and even more so among the students was very poor. The teachers in the English lessons would talk to the students in Nepali as they did not know or where ashamed of pronouncing the English words.
We offered to come twice a month to teach English to the teachers, but the school couldn't offer us the accommodation.
It could have been a nice break from the constant dust in the Kathmandu's air. Out in the countryside it is full with fresh, sweet air.
