In 2013, a team made up of volunteers from 16 MCI offices set out to fulfill the dream of a school in a remote village in Nepal. With the support of the principal, teachers and students, we built an AV room and funded the services of a teacher for 2 years. Our goal was to provide these students with access to the digital age, opening up a whole new world of learning opportunities to them and the community at large. In line with our commitment to sustainability, this year we will continue our efforts by further improving the studying environment of the school.
