The second school, which bears the name Hans Kammerlander School, is located in Lhubu, not far from the Shaligram Children’s Home. The South Tyrolean extreme mountaineer has a special relationship with this school, as it is already the second school that was built with his help in 2005 by NHB. He regularly visits the school in Lhubu. In addition to the construction of the school, Kammerlander has also been strongly committed.
On 15 March, the extension to the school was officially handed over by board member Manfred Lindner and a delegation from the NHB.
After almost two years of construction, the school in Tanjakot in Humla, in the far west of Nepal, was officially opened on 1 April 2024. 360 schoolchildren now have a new school in one of the most remote areas of Nepal.
Since the completion of the passive solar house in September 2023, the five-month school closures in the winter from November to March due to low temperatures of up to -25 degrees will be a thing of the past. Pupils will now be able to attend school for 10 months.
