Dear Sunita,
Thanks for the samples! I really like especially the January design, and the basic April one I would suggest for the first/cover page...maybe with some text instead of the days in the white area below. Did you ever see the one they made for Kyomya - with the "story" going through like a red string? If you send me your skype/MSN name I could send it to you (it's too big to share here).
Thanks again for your efforts, Angelika

Thanks, Lia, for helping out with the photos! Great idea, Sabina, opening the photobucket account, that should really make it easier :)
Thanks, Barb, for sharing the calendar you and your neighbours made - it is really beautiful I think!!! We should also aim to have a nice text like a story line through the calendar I think.
Who would be interested in doing that?

As I mentioned Sabina said she could take care of the photos :) but she also asked what to take pictures of...any ideas? I said a close-up of a child, view of Yoshinkhel, of a temple, the women at work might all be nice motives. I like the two new pictures Sabina just put online, for example.
What do you think?

Here is what our neighbour Barb thought we should consider from her experience with making a calendar for Kyomya. A neighbour is selling them through schools in the US that she has made arrangements with to have students sell with $3 from each sale going to the school (making a $10 profit on each calendar - the production cost calculated at between 5 and 7 USD and with a sales price of 20 USD).
1. You need high resolution and high quality photos - Sabina would take care of that
2. You need someone to prepare the calendar
3. You need funds to cover the printing costs
Help design a calendar and sell it for fundraising

We would like to make a calendar with pictures from Yoshinkhel and use it for fundraising to buy wool :)
Who's in? We have started on design and texting: ideas are more than welcome! And then we'd also need YOU to help us with selling the calendars in your neighbourhood for fundraising!!!

Is it possible to add the ability to create different photo albums within the village photo gallery? Some villages have a multitude of pictures uploaded to Nabuur. It would be useful and I would think add for ease of loading the pages if we could place pictures within albums. This way people can look at the pictures they want and easily find pictures they might be looking for rather than having to scroll through a long list of them.
