In Thangpalkot, COMMITTED has worked with five schools — Raithane, Chilaune, Taltuleshwori<\/a>, Saatkanya<\/a> and Kumveshwori<\/a>. While our involvement with Raithane has been the most extensive, we had just begun to expand our programs of assistance to the other schools before the earthquake<\/a> of April 25 and May 12, 2015, hit and caused extensive destruction and damages in the country, in Thangpalkot<\/a> and those schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having provided emergency relief to Thangpalkot and other areas in Sindhupalchok district and elsewhere, having helped set up<\/a> Temporary Learning Centers (TLCs) in the village, having set up recreational and educational activities at the TLCs, including music<\/a>, sports<\/a>, and reading and writing<\/a> — COMMITTED is moving ahead with the reconstruction finally, after the relevant government body in Kathmandu granted permission to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconstruction of Taltuleshwori Primary School is already underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it stands now, partly due to funding constraints, COMMITTED will be adding six more blocks to the two original intact blocks. When funding becomes available, the rest of the blocks shown on the site plan will be built. The current work will be completed in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once completed, the school will serve 176 elementary school students from Wards 1-3 in Thangpalkot VDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As stated earlier, rebuilding Taltuleshwori School according to the site plan will require additional funding, to say nothing of the funding required for the reconstruction of the other schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in supporting us, we do have an ongoing fundraising drive<\/a>. If interested in finding out where we stand with funding click here<\/a> to go to our annual report for fiscal year 2014-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
