 Building a school in
war-torn Nepal is far from many Northfielders’ minds.
While American educators are mired in debate over
federal and state guidelines, Adequate Yearly Progress and best practices for
delivering education, Nepalese students long for indoor plumbing, electricity
and books.

 St. Olaf student Subhash Ghimire ’10 set out this summer to establish a camp in rural Nepal for children impacted by the country’s decade-long civil war, but he didn’t stop there. In addition to managing a 16-member team and 42 children during a successful six-week camp, he created a scholarship fund, established a library, and launched a foundation to support youth movements.
It was the experience of a lifetime, he says, that was topped off by a letter he received shortly after returning to the United States informing him that he had received a scholarship from the Vincent L. Hawkinson Foundation for Peace and Justice. He’ll use part of the $3,000 award to attend law school, but is putting a portion of it toward the scholarship fund he established for Nepalese school children.

remote village in western Nepal where he was born to organize a six-week summer camp for children impacted by the
country's caste system and decade-long civil war.
