School Environment Improvement Program - Nepal

Namaste and seasonal greetings to all our donors, well-wishers and supporters from ECCA, Nepal.

The initiation of water tank construction (approx. 7000 ltr of capacity) at Kalidhunga Higher Secondary school for the storage of drinking water and construction of water distribution system has been nearly completed. From 11^th to 15^th March, 2012 civil engineer Mr. Sagar Mulmi along with me, had a monitoring field visit in the school on the construction of water tank. During our field visit, infrastructures developed were monitored. As some infrastructures were not constructed as per the design estimation, modification of the structure as per main design was suggested for changes with the technicians. With the beginning of new education session starting from 3^rd week of april, the students in the school are getting benefit through the infrastructure developed.

Apart from the monitoring visit, discussion and information dissemination to the government officials of District Development Committee and Central District Office regarding ongoing program in Mirge VDC had also been done. Necessary administrative procedures to attain the approval for the implementation of program were initiated in district government office.

As new educational session had began, a nature club reformation training is under planning for 10-11 May, 2012. The NC reforming training will focus on developing future plans and activities that are to be conducted by nature club in their school and community. Along with the planning, various other educational training programs such as Herbal Garden Initiative, Climate Diary etc are also under planning phase to support the moral values for the students.

With the above notes, we would like to express our sincere thanks to all our donors, supporters, well-wishers and the globalgiving team for your continuous support in our initiation. We would also like to request you to disseminate the information of our program in your circle so as to raise funds and support the education of needy students. We hope for your feedback, comments and suggestion regarding our program at ecca@mos.com.np so that we could implement our program more effectively.
