Chourikhola Lesley George Jennings Memorial Primary school, Nagre gagarche VDC, Kavre district – Opened 30th August 2007
Chourikhola “Leslie George Jennings Memorial” Primary school was the fourth school to be built by the charity here in the UK and the second of UAPs builds. Chourikhola school was built as a memorial to the late Leslie George Jennings who was the father of UAP MD Dave Jennings. The opening of the school was combined with a major event taking place on the same ground, the Chourikhola health camp and football festival. The school was opened on 30th August 2007 and for the next four days was used as a make shift health camp, treating over 2000 people.
The event featured Coventry Citys FA cup winning captain of 1987, Brian Kilcline. Sean Wilson was also due to be there but had to cancel due to filming commitments. Fortunately for the group the new road (dirt track) had just opened and so fo the first time it was possible to drive all the way. This was thwarted by the monsoon rain however and it ended up being a considerable walk for the last leg of the journey.
