From a month before the April 25 and May 12, 2015 earthquakes in Nepal, I was in the US for what was supposed to have been a short three-month long visit. But I ended up spending much longer than that initially to raise awareness about the calamity and funds for COMMITTED's effort to provide emergency relief and rebuild schools in Thangpalkot. Some efforts bore fruit, as it were, while others didn't, as was to be expected!
Sherpa Adventure Gear donated ponchos for students in Thangpalkot.
With help from COMMITTED and another non-profit organization, Chilaune School is getting ready to move out of their TLC and into the classroom.
Another post about COMMITED's visit to Thangpalkot village, our project site, in early February. This one is mostly about our attendance at Star Reader recognition functions at the schools in the area, and about the discovery of the sad fate of one Star Reader.
Libraries played an important role in my education in Nepal. Believing therefore that libraries are an extremely important resource in a school I wholeheartedly support building libraries at school. COMMITTED has helped build libraries at all four schools in Thangpalkot and also at Shanti Nikunj.
