This 15 minute video for KS2-5 complements our other resources around Nepal, and is a great conversation starter for discussions around the difference between school life in Nepal and in the UK. Might be nice for form time or PSHE/ Citizenship. Students will “walk” alongside local WaterAid staff as they visit some of the communities WaterAid has been working with, including a school in Lahan, south-eastern Nepal; students will learn common Nepali phrases and join 16-year-old Karun on his water walk.
