Dubai British School and SMD School, Kathmandu, Nepal

Shirley Blair, Director of the Shree Mangal Dvip (SMD) School in Kathmandu, visited DBS this week to talk to our students, parents and staff about the SMD School and why our support is so important.

DBS students are raising funds to support SMD and collecting items such as plasters, vitamins, pens, board games and chalk for the children there. It was fantastic to hear about the SMD children from Shirley and to understand why our contributions are so valuable.

Thank you to students, parents and staff for all their contributions and to the Parents & Friends Association for enabling Shirley to come to DBS. The school's relationship with SMD is ongoing and we look forward to more fundraising, volunteering and visits in the future.
