School in need in country with no organized social structure.

Individuals, organizations, companies : Sponsor a child or sponsor a school it's cheap and enlighten your and the children's future.

Last week miss Tsultrim ask me to take photos of the new musical instruments bought with funds especially for this purpose from Graines d'Avenir (seeds' future, french association). 2 ungyen and da.nyen, a drum set, an electronic keyboard...
The music came to see me,'It was the only school where I teach which didn't have any instruments. I teach in 6 schools.'
What he is not saying: schools are not really fond of solidarity while coming to let their material. Futhermore many child, wall, teacher, material depend on outside money  which inevitable as a school is not a business and need famillies and governement's help.
The music teacher also forgot to tell is fees are high if compared with other teachers. In in his clothes and behaviour we can see he focuses on the West. Would he plan to go abroad?

If the music muses are now satisfied, the building is still to sell. The tensions are still high. These days Miss T., who never read newspaper, read carefully the articles about the kidneys black market. She says that may be one of the doctors involved in the traffic is part of the practionners'group which is interesting in the building... may be but "the doctor's name starting by a 'B' " he's still not printed/wanted.

child2sponsorFour children from the school need a sponsor. So I had to take them in photo to send in Japan. Finding a sponsor can sometimes last for years said the headmaster.
However, Miss T. stressed that the more needfull would be a fund to pay part of the rent... and the bills. Only 5300 NRs (1 nepalese roupie = 63 dollars) are needed per month for the rent but the landlord request to pay the water bill per room, where a room is an average size (so some represent two!) and not all of them use water and anyway not the same amount of water. This way the average water bill is around 250 Rs per room and there are 40 rooms (=10.000 Nrs!) It's said that's the price to pay to get water all the time while Boudha lacks water.

With a fund, at first the children would get fruits and vegetable for lunch to change a bit their daily dhal bat, if enough is given every month, the school could raise the teachers's salary. In Nepal most won't even think of becoming a teacher just because of it. For not helping, all basic prices have increased with the lack of them: fuel, oil, gaz, transports...
