Hi
In my village Onicha Mbaise, in Imo State in Nigeria, we are confronted with poor road network. the fews existing roads there are not motorable, the few motorable ones have potholes as its unique feature. this therefore makes it difficult for indegines to move about or for farmer to transport their produce to places where they are needed.
another issue worthy of mention is that of public healthcare and good drinking water. In this 21st century it is bad to notice or see villages who still lack these amenities that otherwise should have been taken for granted.

Not sure what language you use in school, but you can find a very easy to read financial education story in English, Tamil and Hindi on http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/koliyonkulam/project/task/translation-e...

Best regards,
Tanja

Hello!

My name is Deeptha and I live in Madras, India. I used to be a Corporate Trainer till 2 months ago but am now a Storyteller. I'm part of an organization called Kathalaya (The House of Stories) that uses stories to teach different subjects in schools. We call it 'Integrated Learning through Storytelling'. Along with narrative techniques, I use puppets, picture stories, toy theatre and craft to add value to the story.

I believe that a story has the power to make a positive change in every sphere...most of all education.

Cheers,
Deeptha

Hi Romina,

It is a great story, is not it? Too bad the guys on Wall Street did not read it when they were kids :)) We are planning to jazz up the story with illustrations donated to Koliyonkulam by a popular children's book writer and I will post it in the Facilitator's village.

Hi Muna,

Thank you! I like the story- it is very optimistic :) Is it OK to move this discussion to Koliyonkulam-under the first task; it will be easier for Jegan and the rest of the neighbours to follow - http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/koliyonkulam/project/task/storytellers-...

Have a good weekend!

Hi Muna,

Excellent! Not sure if I shared the presentation that HELP put together- there is more information about the kids there (although probably duplicates whatever is posted on helptrust.org). I will attach it just in case. It will be great if you have a chance to chat with Jegan- he is very dedicated to the school and spends a lot of time there, so he knows much more about the kids. I will shoot him a quick email to let him know you may need some additional information. You can contact him directly at tjeganbose(at)gmail(dot)com, my email is tanja(at)volunteer (dot)nabuur(dot)org.

Hi there,

Koliyonkulam (http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/koliyonkulam)wants to publish the stories of the children in the Evening School, but the current descriptions are a bit too dry and mechanical. If you are interested in helping with telling the kids stories- please visit helptrust.org- all the kids information is listed there. Also there is some info in the attached document. Let me know if you are interested.

Hi all-I have really been pushing the last few days to get this last $146 raised by year-end. With 2-more days to go, I was wondering if you all might be able to contribute a story, possibly something about one of the women who worked on the hats for the children in Gamauli, the impact the knitting business has had on her life...maybe a story of how the women felt when they saw the picture of the children at the school with the hats they made??
