Brief History of The CAIRN Trust
The CAIRN Trust was launched by the four Principals of Thomas's London Day Schools in July 2007. The Thomas’s family connections with Nepal go back some 40 years to the time when David Thomas was an officer in the 2nd Gurkhas. It was through contact with the villages and families of these cheerful, strong and resilient, yet incredibly poor people that made David and Joanna determined to help. Thomas’s Schools has since built up a working relationship with six villages after financing the construction of schools in these villages. Click here to read more about our schools.
