Absolutely great project

Aparna you have run a great project with the Nath Valley students - and the great thing is it could go on and on! My favourite is the festival that shows women are as strong as men! This also shows how you can start a project, and other schools can join it later. Our next festival is Pancake Day, then Chinese New Year, when we go to Chinatown in London to see the dancing dragon and eat dim sum. Best wishes Liz (facilitator)
