With the help of donors from Globalgiving.org, we have made a giant step in our model project at the Modie Schools. These are the schools of: Modi, Tsokey, Dulong and Seche.
We have: --installed wooden flooring --put in walls and ceilings --put stoves in every room --replaced the tree stumps with chairs and desks --provided notebooks and pencils to every student --provided meals to 6 children who don't have enough food --provided clothing for the Tibetan winter --installed double-paned windows --painted the outside of the buildings
Surmang Foundation has also created a written curriculum and textbook for teaching hygiene and pubic health in the Modi schools. These will be taught by SF community health workers -- local women (and men) who act as an invaluable outreach arm of the clinic.
In addition Dr. Phuntsok Dongdrup, Clinic Director, makes regular visits to the schools to assist in health promotion and primary care.
