On 3rd October, 2023, International Interns (Victoria and Valeria), a dedicated team from BBS department and CFC members visited Laboratory Secondary School, Kirtipur to carry out 3rd workshop relating to Solar System to the students of visual disabilities of grade 6 and 7.

At first, the students were given a braille card to read some details about the sun, planets, satellite and solar system family. Then, they interacted within the group. As per the names of the planet they received in their braille card, the students were given to paint the planets and other heavenly bodies of solar system chart that was prepared with locally available resources by the international interns and the dedicated team.

When the paint was drying up, students and the dedicated team collected some pebbles. After everything was ready, the students pasted their corresponding planets and other part of the solar system in the chart. Later, they concluded the session by giving short presentation. Ex-coordinator of the school Mrs. Mina Shrestha paid a visit and made the workshop livelier.
