GNSD SISTER SCHOOLS PROJECT
Through the Sister Schools Project, GNSD intends to facilitate partnerships between schools in economically developed countries with poor schools from developing countries. GNSD has already a network of collaborators in China, India, Nepal, Poland, USA, and some countries of Africa. By working with schools in these countries, GNSD may provide them with the opportunity to collaborate and engage in local community projects. GNSD Nepal through its partner organizations and experts in sustainable development, can create educational content on the principle “learning by doing”. It will contribute to the realization of sustainable development goals by engaging the youth in the process of their implementation.

Changing the world through music requires localized knowledge, outreach, and vision. Foundation’s programs are organized to combat systematic social and economic disparity, as well as disparity intensified by crisis. Across many PFCF communities, their programming serves as the only access point to cultural and creative educational activities. These activities drive youth, community, and gender development, cultural preservation, social cohesion, and the promotion of social identities regardless of ethnicity, caste, class, and economic statuses.
Music can be a source of hope, joy, and opportunity. Despite lock-downs and quarantines, the music has continued to flow however it can, either online, across outdoor spaces, and where it is safe in-person classes.
