Pema Tsering Gurung is the Project Coordinator and principal teacher. He was born in Ku. When he was seven his parents sent him to to the Snowland Ranag School in Kathmandu, a Dolpo school in Kathmandu. When he completed college he returned to Ku to serve his village. He is the only person in Ku who has been fortunate enough to go to school and he feels “big responsibility and hope for my village people as without education the people are ill ​equipped to live outside the village. Multiple generations will benefit from the education provided by a local school. If children are deprived of an education then both the local and global community is deprived of opportunity and talent.”
