Nepal has formally thanked the government for its long-standing support towards developing educational facilities in the country.
The Chief Minister recently received a commemorative plaque to celebrate the completion of the 25thManx-funded school project there.
The chairman of the Pahar Trust presented it to Allan Bell on behalf of the director general at the Nepali Department of Education.
Through financial assistance from the Council of Ministers Overseas Aid Committee and donations by Island residents, the Trust has helped to build and equip schools in many remote Nepali villages.
It is hoped that a further three Manx-funded schools will be completed this year.
