Volunteering at Jana Uddhar School produced results! One of the science teachers I worked with successfully went on to use her imagination and creativity to create solutions to problems of lack of resources, which, I would like to believe, I was a small inspiration for!
Jana Uddhar School needs your help to keep their Math teacher. Will you?
Teachers in Nepal can vastly improve Science teaching just by changing the way they teach. And for that, they don't need fancy buildings and the latest resources and gadgets. Just using what's available at the school and what is accessible locally, science can be brought alive and made relevant to the students, thereby improving the learning outcomes of the students.
We are making gains, we are making progress...albeit small and slowly, but some day will amount to something substantial...that's what I am hoping anyway!

Help my mate Pete and my buddy Sakar launch Nepal's first collaborative school by donating to their fundraising drive. They are raising a modest $10341 (£6826) to serve some of the poorest students in Kathmandu Valley. What the team has already accomplished since taking over the school is already commendable. These funds will go a long way in accomplishing what they have set out to do: turn the school around and show that huge investments are not necessary to accomplish that.
