Laprak quake-hit students receive reading materials

GORKHA: Students appearing for the forthcoming School Leaving Certificate (SLC) examinations from earthquake-stricken Laprak's Manika Devi Secondary School on Saturday received books and other reading materials for necessary preparations.

Around 50 girls and boys of grade 10 received books, exercise books, question collections, calculators and geometric boxes.

A non-governmental organisation – People in Need – extended the support for the quake-hit students. The organisation's staffer, Ashish Shrestha, said the reading materials were provided to the students to prepare for the SLC examinations.

Niruta Gurung of grade 10 said she did not have money to purchase books and vowed to prepare for the examinations with the support of the books provided by the organisation.
