The small pencil from Alex School was precious to Sabina.  After finishing laundry, he sat down with the worn pencil. The sound o f it on paper brought him peace, and from its tip, his dreams quietly bloomed

Surungo Village, nestled in  the KarakoramMountains  on the western Himalayas,  sits 3,000 meters above sea level.  Alex Elementary has been the  village's only school since 2011


On the only road from Skardu to Surungo in 2024

In 2024, the second Alex Elementary School 

opened in Mondrong. In the sunlit classroom, children studied with smiles, their laughter as bright as the clear sky,  and the joy of learning shining in their eyes.

Here, parents struggle to afford school

supplies. That's why, along with the teacher's salary, school supplies are   provided during each visit.  A simple pencil or notebook becomes a    seed for learning and a great comfort to the parents.
