A man who helped raise funds for a school to be rebuilt in Pakistan after an earthquake in 2005 is to be a guest of honour at its official opening.
The girls' primary school has been built in the Bhunja valley with the support of the people in Wales.
Bob James from Beddgelert, Gwynedd, said he was honoured to be asked to the newly-named "People of Wales" school.
He joined forces with Penarth GP Khan Nawab Khan to send money following the disaster in October 2005.
More than £60,000 was raised across Wales in the immediate aftermath.
Mr James explained he got involved with fundraising after the earthquake through his involvement with an international rescue team.
"The team were called to the earthquake back in 2005 in Pakistan and at the time I was unable to go through a shoulder injury.
Schools destroyed
"So I stayed behind and did a lot of work with the raising of funds and tents and sleeping bags and things like that to send out to the victims of the earthquake.
Later he teamed up with Dr Khan, another fundraiser in Wales.
Dr Khan said over 75,000 people were killed in the 2005 earthquake, the vast majority of them were children and women who were in schools at the time.
In the Bhunja valley alone four schools were destroyed and 21 children lost their lives, he said.
Dr Khan said the initial Welsh fundraising effort went on immediate relief with tents and food packages.
"But as a long term project we focussed on the small community - the schools has been destroyed - and we focussed on trying to rebuild," said Dr Khan.
"Six months down the line Bob came up with the idea of getting a temporary school with the marquees that we took out.
"And so the children started their education six months after the earthquake.
"And that's carried until last year when the construction of a permanent school was begun and the six classroom girls primary school has been completed."
Dr Khan said it was named the People of Wales school after Mr James' suggestion.
"He said 'Look we'd like one of the classrooms to be named People of Wales School' and I said to him 'Bob if we raise enough money we will call the whole school People of Wales School' but let's see."
"This girl's primary school cost £25,000 which is not a lot of money, but it's a lot of money out there.
Mr James said it was a "tremendous achievement what the people out there have done rebuilding the school and getting things on what will hopefully be a normal way of life for them.
"To me personally it's a tremendous honour," he said.
