Khasi Hills Update: An Exciting Opportunity for Two Students

Two students from the school we sponsor in the Khasi Hills of India recently had the opportunity to participate in a two-week hands-on experiential learning trip focused on scientific research and innovation across India.

The students, Banjied Kyrpang Bina and Pherlisha War, visited centers of science and technology in Chennai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru (shown as Bangalore on the map). They were accompanied by one of the two teachers we sponsor, Lamborlang Syiem. The trip was sponsored by the state of Meghalaya, where the Khasi Hills region is located.

“We are so happy that two of our students got this opportunity,” said Nangroi Suting, vice-principal of the Annie Margaret Barr Higher Secondary School.

Photos from the trip will be shared on the school’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/633042906906359. If you are on Facebook, please consider signing up to see the photos and receive updates from the school.
