Last October five UK teachers were given the opportunity to see what life was really like over in Pakistan and how they would face the daily challenge of teaching 70 students in one class.

Since then regular Skyping sessions have continued between the students from each school to build upon relationships as well as the development of new and exciting projects for the year. Read More
