Together with our partner organization, Kakshyalaya, we recently delivered furniture, 500 books, carpets and posters to 15 schools in Nuwakot and Kavre districts in the Kathmandu Valley.
Ten schools each received 50 books, three book racks and at least two low reading tables. The books are in Nepali and English.
A handful of schools received only carpeting for new classrooms that opened in 2019, in response to damage from the 2015 earthquake, or carpeting and low reading tables.
The amount of carpeting and furniture each school received based on enrollment size and recommendations by the education department.
The posters were designed by a Kakshyalaya board member and teachers participating in our training workshops over the past two years. Among other topics, the posters promoted bookmaking as a classroom activity, part of our training emphasizing reading aloud to children.
A book rack full of books, along with some reading tables and carpeting covering cement floors, creates the kind of environment that research shows will encourage students to read and be successful, active learners.
