THE CHILDREN OF MAYEL LYANG ACADEMY

The Lepcha school in Passingdang in Upper Dzongu, North Sikkim has 50 students. Once the new school is built the capacity will double. Here are some photos of the students at Mayel Lyang Academy taken on a glorious Dzongu morning in April 2008.

The children of Mayel Lyang Academy range in age from age three (who attend nursery school) to age 11 (who attend class 4). Most of the children live in the village of Passingdang in Upper Dzongu where they are surrounded by nature. These drawings are by the school children and depict their landscape and its inhabitants.
