Brecknock Museum and Art Gallery in Brecon and the Believe Collective are very happy to announce the launch of the first phase of 'Ayo Gorkhali!' ( http://www.ayo-gorkhali.org) - an online educational resource that celebrates the history and legacy of the British Gurkhas. The project takes its name from the Gurkha battle cry, ‘Jai Mahakali, Ayo Gorkhali!’ (‘Victory to goddess Mahakali, the Gurkhas are here!'). The site features a unique interactive Timeline covering 2,800 years of Nepali (Nepalese) and Gurkha history: http://www.ayo-gorkhali.org/index.php/en/timeline/ and also archive photos and clips from an educational DVD produced for one of the project's sponsors, the Gurkha Museum Winchester. The 'Ayo Gorkhali' site is the latest outcome from the 'Ayo Gorkhali' (AG) project which Brecknock Museum and Art Gallery and the Believe Collective have been developing for the last 3 years, funded by Inspiring Learning for All grants from CyMAL. The AG project began with a community engagement and exhibition project in Brecon that culminated in the very successful 'Ayo Gorkhali!' exhibition (see our short 'Brecon Freedom Parade<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3baq5_YqbY&feature=player_embedded>' film on YouTube). The AG project is also running an online Nepal-Wales schools linkup project. The 'Ayo Gorkhali' site is managed using the popular open-source Joomla Content Management System and uses custom-built webservices to deliver content via the Flash Timeline. The site has also been designed to deliver a great experience on mobile devices such as Apple's iPhone/iPod and Android phones.
