Buildings
The frame going up on cleared ground and the finished roof over it. The girls’ dormitory and the school that replaced the one the earthquake took down.

Photo album
A lifetime in one village
Eighteen years told in pictures. Four trekkers painting a schoolhouse, an earthquake that opened the walls to the roof, and the buildings that went up after it. The children in the first album are grown now, and some of them are still here.
Education
Lessons, the library and the uniform days. What every building in the village is for.
2018
The 2018 team trekked to the village and on to Everest Base Camp.
2016
The trip dedicated to the opening of the earthquake resistant school, and the down jackets that went to every child in the village.
The 2015 earthquake
April 2015. The walls of the school opened to the roof and families slept outdoors. The last three are the architect’s drawings for the building that replaced it.
2015
Smokeless stoves for the village kitchens, and the dedication of the two storey classroom buildings.
2009
Classroom furniture, the library shelving and seating, and a new uniform for every child, every teacher and the Head Master.
2008
The first walk in. Everest Base Camp, then on to Chyangba to paint the schoolhouse and level the playground for the dental camp that October.
Come and take some
Every one of these came back with a team
Nobody was sent to photograph Chyangba Village. Every picture here was taken by somebody who walked in, and the walking is what pays for the school, the teachers and the beds.
