Local Nepalese managed to build five temporary learning centers (TLC) enabling children to attend school only six weeks after the earthquake had completely destroyed their school buildings. These are basic structures that provide classroom space but very few comforts.
The TLC buildings were dark and in need of light for classroom reading and studies. Low cost light panels were installed to provide the light source to enable students to do school work. A simple solution for a significant problem.
Library improvements are continuing by providing books, desks & chairs, and carpeting in the library, to provide a more complete and fulfilling school experience for the children. In March Global Giving's matching program helped us to raise over $6,000 for library improvements which is only $2,500 short of our goal. Thank You Global Giving for matching our dolars, dollar to dollar and all of you that took advantage of doubling your donlars.
During the past few months school grounds lost to landslides were replaced by local volunteer labor and CMAF funds. Golmeshori school is pictured to show the laborsome process of building a retaining wall as the first step to reclaiming the outside play area. In general at this time the children enjoy very little or no recreational or after school activities. We are working to change that with an after school sport program for boys and girls.
