Could you try? Please let us know then, when you need further help. I believe that to strengthen your project and your capacity, the best way is to try and to correct - neighbors can help then with final corrections. The first one is always the hardest, once one application completed, the others will be much easier to write.

best,
Maria

Hi Glynnism,

Books that can provide help in english language courses: vocabulary, grammar, structures, essays, small & big stories, novels & all other kind of material which can help to improve English language.

In computer: different courses such as short diplomas & other courses to help students in operating computers & can introduce professional courses for office use & so on.

Cutting & sewing classes need good new design books to introduce latest style fashion & some techniques about that, which can attract females to join the platform of FJEC.

Moreover, if that books are kept in library to generate the income of institute then they should be having some good names to be demanded by local professionals.

Regards,

Adnan khan.

Hi Adnan

A neighbour called Sinead completed the attached book application to Biblionef for Garden village in Zambia.

The questions for Biblionef are slightly different to those for BIG Books but I am posting it as an example of a form that provides clear information. This may give you some more ideas on how to to complete yours.

I have removed the personal contact details as their Local Rep may not want them posted on Nabuur.

Note that this was completed several months (maybe over a year) ago so Bibilonef's application procedure may have changed since then. So if you decide to apply to them too, you need to check. They are aware of the existence of Nabuur as several villages have received books from them.

Hi Maria and Adnan

I have read the book application and there is a lot of info about the why girls need education, and still not much specific information about the school - numbers etc, although there is more than before. But maybe you will have to go with what you have, send the application to BIG books and see what they say. Hopefully they will reply and request any additional information they need. You can then use that as a base for other applications.

You also need to work out whether you will be able to use the books as a way to make money e.g. is it practical/safe for outsiders to visit the school to borrow books from you? You have already explained that you cannot have a computer centre on-site because of the risk of attack, and I don't know if the same is true for a lending library.

If you want to use Romina/Nabuur as a reference, you need to confirm with her that she is happy to provide one first. Simply being on the Nabuur website does not confirm that the project is genuine (I am not doubting you, just pointing this out). Is there anyone in Pakistan who you can ask, who is respected in your community, and also familiar with your work i.e. someone who has seen the school?
