Nepal Chapel

The importance of community was displayed in a number of the last week assemblies, through the telling of the story, Stone Soup.  The primary teaching assistants acted out a Nepali version of this well know story about an old man who cooks a pot of stone soup to teach some selfish villagers the important of building community through the act of sharing. As each of the villagers interacts with the old man, they are amazed that he is willing to share his soup with them. This simple act of sharing brings a response and the villagers end up donating some of their vegetables, which they have been hoarding for themselves.  As the end of the story, everyone in the village enjoys a bowl of soup and much laughter. The old man sneaks away to the next village to share his soup and this important message.
