Help Secure Story Books, Reference Books and Teaching Materials for the School

Status: Just started
Step: 
3

Students at the school do not have access to a library. Teachers are provided with "Teacher's Guides" and students are provided with text books, but they have very limited access to other types of fun reading materials and reference books. Ideally these books will be written in Nepali, but other books appropriate for students in grades 1-5 (ages 7-12) would be welcome. Room to Read has provided a donation already and some additional resources were provided by a volunteer a few years ago. Other than this, no other donations have been received to date.

Min is also interested in establishing an English reading library at the school, but it will be helpful to have the addition built at the school so there is sufficient space available.

In the present classrooms, there are desks and a blackboard. Other than this, there are no charts, maps, or other learning materials. Keep in mind there is also no power at the existing school so e-books or computer-based resources will not work.

For this task we are asking volunteers to research possible resources that we can contact for assistance in obtaining additional books and teaching materials for use at the school and others who are willing to help us make contact with the agencies identified.

I was thinking to ask them for more information and what the requirements are to (maybe) become involved with our project. What do you think?

Hi J and J ( Jennifer and Jenny)

Both of you are great lady for me. Jenny may be the second candidate for award.

I agree with your ideas regarding globalhelper's website and work. I will do that and follow your instructions. I request to you that if we get a organzation who wants to work with ECC for long time will be the great contribution forr many of the schools here in Nepal. Since all of we need to think about this. Please!!

Second, It's great that you asked to Global Education Fund and i hope it can work with us if you follow it.

Do you have any idea that it is working in Nepal? Where is it's main office? How does it work?Is this INGO or just volunteer organization? Can ECC be a partner of GEF? can we porpose like that way? can we find any INGO or foundation that can accept ECC as their partner organization or representtive organization here in Nepal?

I am not able to meet your replies appropriatly due to power cut? Please do not mind it.
