Nepali students studying in different colleges of Germany have offered support to students of a rural school in Langtang valley of Rasuwa district.

According to Ngima Lama Sherpa, founder of Himalayan Child Foundation, education material was distributed to over 100 students studying in Dukcheswory Primary School at Naukunda Rural Municipality-5 amidst a function organised on the school premises today.
