Off to Nepal!

 I'm heading off to Nepal on March 9 to help establish 5 new preschool classrooms in the southern region of Nepal.  I will be training 10 teachers, 2 each from 5 different schools. 

As usual, I have two giant bags weighing 49.9 pounds (just under the  50 pound limit!) full of sustainable instructional materials that I am unable to purchase in Kathmandu.
I am looking forward to introducing the PiSL Early Childhood Curriculum, and all the fun and educational activities that they can do with their young students.

Our Work in Nepal

Picture
Train and Sponsor Teachers
Over 5 years, we have completed five 6-day teacher workshops with 84 women. We try to visit  each of the 42 preschools at least one time a year to provide monitoring and coaching . PiSL pays the salaries of 12 teachers who not supported by the government, so we have a Sponsor a Teacher program in which donors can  contribute.

Renovate and Furnish Classrooms
Since our first project in 2013, we have built 11 ECD classrooms (pre-earthquake design) and built 4 earthquake resistant classrooms. That leaves 27 classrooms that we have renovated. We are so happy that  he 4 earthquake resistant classrooms are complete and we look forward to keeping all 42 classrooms updated and repaired as needed.

Support Successful Learning
After teachers receive training, they need the required instructional materials to engage their students in learning. All 42 classrooms have received the materials needed to teach the Whole Child philosophy behind the PiSL Early Childhood Curriculum. We encourage teachers to use them and are committed to periodically updating and replacing these materials. 

You are helping to make a difference in a faraway place.
