We are a secular organization and the schools we're partnered with are not affiliated any major religion. We welcome religious partners and a couple of local churches have given us incredible support, but Nepal has a troubled cultural history regarding religious missionaries and we have made an effort to be cognizant of those issues.
I'll have to speak with our board of directors, but if the telescopes were donated I imagine we would happily take them with us this summer. I would bet that Govinda would LOVE to incorporate them into his curriculum.
