We had a wonderful 2019!
2019 has been an eventful year for PiSL.
Diann was in Nepal in March for teacher training and to introduce our program to five new schools in the Bardia district.
Dan and Diann (accompanied by two friends) spent a month in November visiting classrooms, and training teachers and school principals.
This spring, our Cushion Campaign raised funds to buy each child in our 48 preschool classrooms a warm soft cushion to sit on.
This summer, we received a grant to purchase small chalkboards for each preschool classroom. This will allow teachers to teach children handwriting skills in a sustainable way.
This fall, we held a fund-raiser, The PiSL Fandango-By-The-Bay. The incredible band, The Blues Disaster, provided tunes and entertainment. Fun was had by all!
Next year will be an exciting one as we scope out the possibility of helping an existing school in northern India. Meanwhile, we will continue to assure that our 48 classrooms are well supported. In addition, we will continue to sponsor 12 community-based teachers' yearly salaries.
This journey could never have happened without your support!
With great gratitude, we thank you, and wish you peace and joy for the upcoming holidays!

Our Work in Nepal

Support Successful Learning
After teachers receive training, they need the required instructional materials to engage their students in learning. All 50 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.
