Construction of the school in Kanku progresses rapidly!!

In the village of Kanku in the Himalayas in Nepal local builders are working hard to build the second school in partnership with HELP for a HOME. The walls are built of traditional stone construction and the roof is a similar bamboo construction as the realized school in Basa. The locals are happy to apply the adapted bamboo construction technique again.
