School Environment Improvement Program - Nepal

Empowering students through providing training on different topics / issues and motivating them to organize different programs in their school and community so as to encourage and enhance their leadership skills and capabilities is one of the major objective in School Environment Improvement program. Hence, different activities and training programs were organized in past for the students so as to empower and motivate them. As a result, Nature Club members presented their activeness through organizing different programs in their school and peripheral community of their school.

Every month, students are organizing different programs and activities so as to enhance the knowledge and skills of students in their schools. On 14^th Dec 2012 Friday, Nature Club members of Kalidhunga H.S.S. organized a Quiz Competition in their school. A Volleyball Competition was organized on 4^th January 2013, Friday. Similarly, at the end of every month, students are very active in organizing clean-up campaign in their school periphery and community. A speech competition was organized among the students on 21^st February 2013. Organizing these types of programs in school definitely enhance knowledge and skills. It also helps in improving school environment through creating harmony and friendly behavior in between and among the students.

A parents gathering and Anniversary Celebration was also celebrated in 22^nd and 23^rd February 2013. Organizing these types of programs in schools motivated all the stakeholders – Parents, Students and teachers to work in close coordination for improving school environment as well as to take the school in a new height in the community. It helped all the stakeholders to think about the challenges that are required to think and act.

As educational fiscal year is nearly to an end, development of new plans and programs are under consideration. Hope new educational fiscal year will bring more energy to the nature club members and motivation for them to organize more innovative programs.

We would like to thank you all for your continuous support and encouragement in the work that we are doing towards improving the school condition in Nepal. We would also like to request you to disseminate the information of our program in your network so as to raise more support for our cause and bring difference in the life of students in rural areas.
