The Olympic Truce ....... is
a tradition originating from ancient
Greece that dates back to 776 BC.
A "truce"
(Ancient Greek: ékécheiria,
meaning "laying down of arms") was announced
before and during the Olympic
Games to ensure the host city state (Elis)
was not attacked and athletes and spectators could
travel safely to the Games and peacefully return to
their respective countries.
Welcome to A Ray of Hope

schools to improve quality of education in remote
areas. This year we are planning to provide science
lab equipment to one of the local schools and
stationery to other two schools of Jhapa district of
Nepal. The Science Lab Support Project aims to
provide science education on the basis of practical
activity to remote schools in Nepal that lack the
necessary laboratory equipment. By offering hands-on
learning opportunities, this project aims to enhance

through local sources and equip them with science
laboratory facilities.
