School Buildings for Lower Langtang
Although the Government has permitted to open schools in most of the every villages in Lower Langtang region's villages of Nuwakot District of Nepal is suffering from poor school infrastructures such as school buildings, poor class room, poor outer environment, Libraries, Books and stationary, lack of qualified Teachers and reasonable budget from the Government. The region is major residence of backward community of Tamang and other ethnic group with minor non ethnic communities. . Check out the school project blog for an update - the school buildings are pretty much completed! Go tohttp://panchakanya-kaaule.blogspot.com.Read More
What
The aim of this project is to build a primary school for 250 indigenous Tamang children in Kaaule a village in the Lower Langtang region of Nepal.Read More
Why
Only 110 km from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, Kaaule has no electricity, there is no public transport to it and its inhabitants often face famine. Education has been totally neglected by the government - there is no school able to provide a basic primary education in the native language.Read More
How
Together with the village elders we put together a plan: the land and basic materials for building the school, as well as all the labor will be provided by the villagers. The total cost of the project is around $14,500 - to be gathered through fundraising. Upon gathering the necessary money, I (Misha Kapushesky) will travel to Nepal and participate in the early stages of the construction. The entire project is estimated to take 2-3 months, start to finish.Read More
Who
My name is Misha Kapushesky, I am a scientist in the Microarray Informatics Team at European Bioinformatics Institute. On my recent trip to Nepal, I learned first hand about the disastrous education situation in Nepal, especially for indigenous minorities, and decided to do something about it. The man coordinating the work in Nepal is Santaman Tamang (right), a native of Kaaule, who has been guiding treks all over Nepal for the last 16 years (check out his website at http://www.nepaltrekguide.com).Read More
Are We a Registered Charity?
No, we are not. We considered registering as a charity, but the amount of paperwork for such a comparatively small project is not worth it. We tried to partner with an existing registered charity, CANepal (www.canepal.org.uk) for this project, but after very long and protracted discussions (which seemed promising for a while), they decided to not work together. Anyway, we are well on the way to our goal, as you'll be able to see from the blog, and we'll manage without registering.Read More
Bonus!
As an additional incentive to donate to this project, we are offering one free 10-day trek in Nepal for two highest donors - you will only need to pay for the airfare to Kathmandu and back, the rest (accommodation, food, porters and guide) will be free. We will help you choose a trek that fits your abilities, interests and possible times.Read More
