Dan Doherty, on 16th March 2016. There is no doubt that Dan's legacy will be incredibly loiig-lasting, and we have recognised this by buildtng a school in Nepal in his memory. In the devastating earthqiiake on 25th April 2015, twelve of Learning for Life's scl)ools in Makw2npui', a dists'icl in rural Nepal, were completely destroyed. It Ihei'efore seeined appropriate to raise fvnds, in pai-tiiership with Dan's husband, Neil Fullbi'ook, to i'cconslruct a school in Dan's meinory. The school was officially opened aild inaugurated by Neil on ?Oth February 2017. The school continues to educate vulnerable children from margiiialised communities who have either di'opped out of school oi. never attended, so they can catch up on the education they have missed and become re-integrated into the Tnainstieam education system. In M8y 2017 the tiuemsey Ovei'seas Aid Committee agreed to provide funds foi. Ihe Qonslructioii of another Suppleinentary Education Centre that had been destroyed in the earthquake. Now that the SECS have been I'ebuilt, Iliey will conlinue 10 serve as education and cotnmunity resource centres for many years to come. Based on our previous experience we e5tiinale that each year around 7/0 of the sliidents will go on to enrol in Imainstreain school, allowing new children to attend the SEC and extending the reach of this project. The Dan Doherty Memorial School scliool and the Guernsey SEC coiilinue to provide catch-up education for tliirty children per cenlre.
