Kathmandu, Nepal

In fall, 2006 Susan Stephenson made her third trip to Nepal, as a guest of the Shree Mangal Dvip Boarding School in Baudanath, Kathmandu.

At the right you can see one of the traditional classes, where young monks and nuns study alongside the other students who have come from the far-off villages of the Himalayas. Susan's work is to help the teachers learn how to use Montessori principles to create a more child-centered way of learning.

The boarding school is located just a few magnates walk from the famous Bauda Stupa, the largest Buddhist stupa outside of Tibet. See below for a picture.
