Garma school hall

A continuation of our previous rebuilding effort at Garma school in Nepal

Following the successful implementation of the earthquake resistant classrooms throughout the region, it became clear a larger building was needed to house the school and local community in the event of another disaster. Partly with Davenport Campbell and then independently we designed, engineered and raised the funds to build the hall. This project was done win collaboration with TTW, David Francis and others. Fundraising for the hall was provided by various Australian construction industry businesses and individuals.

In 2019 I lead a group of volunteers through the everest region of Nepal to help finish the construction of the hall, it was an amazing experience.

At the completion of the project I was asked to be an ambassador the Australian Himalayan Foundation.
