Attached is the current budget as of 11/29/08 for the addition of two classrooms to Shree Krishna Primary School in Gamauli. I am going to go ahead and close this task because we've now reviewed the budget several times. I think for now, it appears okay and if there are further questions down the road that we need to clarify, we can make sure it gets done.

In order to keep books in good condition, they are kept on a string in the classroom. There are no bookcases for safe-keeping.

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.
