Help Develop a Curriculum Plan
Status: 
Step:
1
Nitin is very interested in improving the children's ability to speak, read and write in English. Do you have experience with curriculum development? Can you assist in making tools or devising activities to promote better understanding of the English language and help children apply and practice their skills? Nitin needs your help!

Response from Darian Book Aid

Daniel and I heard back today from Kitty at Darian Book Aid. She said that they could send 1-box of books to the school and that she will let us know when they ship out. They could not do more than a box again due to rising shipping costs, but I am very pleased they can offer support with a box. Every little bit helps!
All the best-

Help Secure Books for the School
Status: 
Step:
3
For this task we are looking for volunteers to help us identify organizations that donate/supply books or possibly local publishing houses that we might contact to help provide enough books to adequately stock a school library as well as establish an appropriate ratio of text and reading books to students at the school. Books should be written in English.
We are happy to report that Darian Book Aid has already agreed to ship some of the needed textbooks to the school.

The primary school in Jinkfuin is in need of more books to lend to the students. Story books that the students can borrow and read as well as textbooks covering topics such as history, geography and science would all benefit the school very much. While some English and Math books have already been donated, additional books in these topic areas would also be a great help due to the increasing population of students.

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.
