Description
I am Ajay age of 44, I am founder and Principal of our academy, and involved in various clubs and actively attached with social services in our community. I have a Master's Degree in Political Science, and in English Literature from Tribhuvan University. At present, studying Bachelor in Law. I have been teaching for fifteen years. I am social worker, Scout Master, Tourism Entrepreneur, Political Practitioner and working for various club and organization
established trekking and tour agency three years before , working differently to educate disadvantaged children. The profits go directly for the development of school project.
My wife Bina Adhikari, age of 33, is an administrator at the academy and works in local women's groups as the leader in women's empowerment issues. Further, She Is the Director a Program. We have sixteen year old daughter Eminent who is currently studying in grade 12 in Kathamandu , three year Aaditi and two year baby boy Adheesh
I founded the academy in 2007 after a final wish from my father, who was a pioneer in bringing English education into rural parts of Nepal. Sadly during the political crisis his school failed and he asked me to continue his dream of bringing education to all to develop communities.
Our academy is a government registered English medium Secondary level school located at small valley, Khanikhola , Dhading. Khanikhola is around 11 hundred meters from sea level with a comfortable climate. Our place is one hour drive from Kathmandu ( 25 Kilometers) and on the way to Pokhara. We currently have 100 sudents that range from nursery to class 10 (age 4-18). The students decreased because of covid and unforseen circumstances. We had 300 students before pandamic of covid.
We want to develop our community by educating young people through active involvement in education, women's issues, waste management,health, agriculture, languages, cultures, lifestyles, music, games and sports, the environment and its sustainability.
After the earthquake last year (2015) we have faced many challenges. Our Global Home in the countryside, which was saved from the devastating earthquake, a base for volunteers and my family.
Our Academy Mission
• We provide qualitative education to both underprivileged and privileged children irrespective of colour, creed religion and castes. Further, the students get ample opportunities to achieve their goals, establish social norms and values, and develop moral character in this ever changing world.
At the academy, we believe in an education based on proper caring, counselling, love , positive thinking with a rounded curriculum. Our curriculum is based on significant lessons of mental and spiritual well-being, a direct involvement with nature to learn about sustainability of the environment, as well as music, sports, personality development, elocution, organic farming, project work, poetry, scouting, creativity and services that have been provided to the students by utilizing limited and locally available resources.
At the Academy we provide our students the tools to unlock their potential and the freedom to explore the success in life in this ever changing world.
The wealth of skills, knowledge and experiences that are brought by volunteers really builds a multi-cultural link for our students with the wider world. We welcome volunteers with mutual understanding, cooperation and a willingness to share food, cultures, lifestyle, languages, skills. Therefore creating a worldwide network.
We also run The Great Mothers Programme to empower our students mothers within their home and community. We have been teaching 15 mothers to stitch along with other skills to develop family management and waste management, all working for poverty alleviation.
Our Achievements:
• Yale University's Service Project "Reach Out Spring Break Trip 2012". had been successfully completed their Trip at our Academy which helped students to learn many valuable lessons.
• Participated in the Junior Wushu World Championship in Singapore and Asian Championship in China
• 11 Gold medals at school-level Wushu games and 1 Gold medal in National Wushu Championship, including the best player award.
We have excellence performance in educational activities by using limited resources.
We are curious , friendly hosts and provide a traditional family experience for our volunteers. We hope to broaden our mutual understanding of other cultures, languages and lifestyles and share ideas to make our academy a success.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
