𝑨𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 1900 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒈𝒐

Looking at a coin today, have you ever wondered:

Where has this little coin been?

Perhaps through a busy market.
Perhaps in the pocket of a traveller.
Perhaps far from where it was first made.

Centuries later, a coin found by archaeologists can still give us little glimpses of the people, places and journeys it once encountered.

It is a blessing to have someone who guides us, encourages us and genuinely wants to see us grow, succeed and do better.

That is the lasting value of a teacher — not simply what they teach, but also what they inspire others to carry forward.

On Teacher’s Day, we encourage 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫s to contribute their knowledge, research and expertise towards understanding, documenting and preserving the rich heritage of 𝐊𝐡𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐡𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐡𝐰𝐚.

A study, a documented story, a piece of research, or a student introduced to our heritage can become part of something that continues beyond generations.
