It's been a fun week with a lot of cheer in the air around Kopila Valley! We've been getting ready for our big annual day celebration, the day of the year where we invite the entire community and everyone involved with our project in to our school and share everything we've been up to. We host this event on Christmas Day every year. The children have been practicing their songs and dance routines, and gearing up for the school play. We also have the final competition going on for the Kopila Cup. Each house has been competing in a series of events and the team with the most points wins the title and the cup on annual day.

We totally have to make a Nepali version.
