Bramuel-

Did you get names/publishers and/or authors for the books that you'd like to have on hand at the hospital? We last talked about this before Christmas. Please post here when you have the list.

Thanks-

Jennifer

Here is a list of several other resources we collected in the Khandbari village in association with getting books for the school library. Again, with most of these, transportation costs will likely be the most prohibitive factor. I still believe 100% that you will find the most success if you focus primarily on the organizations working inside Nepal already, including publishing and book distribution houses.

Tejanath, the LR in the Khandbari village, found much success for the Himalaya Secondary Primary School, by contacting book distributers and publishers in Kathmandu. Since you are located there, it may be a good thing for you to think about as well for Krishna Primary School. He was able to secure 3,000 books for the school library. Among those who donated where Ratna Book Distributers and M.K. Publishers.

Min-this may be a good organization to contact about obtaining more books for the children at the school.

As Christopher could not attach the CBO registration form he emailed it to me. It is attached here as a PDF as the site still won't let me attach a .JPG file as a file, only as an image.

Hi Christopher

Have you tried Biblionef? I know several Nabuur-related projects that have received books from them and the application process is very straightforward.
