December 2008 – School for Malagiri becomes charity of choice for School of Education Centenary Celebrations

News of the Malagiri Project has spread and both staff and students are touched by Pema’s talk. My colleague, Jackie Hannay, has conversations with Lorraine Harrison, the Head of the School of Education, about the possibility of ‘adopting’ the School for Malagiri as the charity of choice for the School of Education Centenary Celebrations.

Progress towards becoming a charity
After discussions with staff at open forum this is agreed. A bank account is opened and Pema is going to have a dialogue about obtaining charity status in Nepal and acquiring land. I look into the bureaucratic nightmare of obtaining charity status in the UK. The forms and paperwork do my head in. I decide to look into it after Christmas.
