Another step in the right direction
A week into my internship at OLE Nepal, I was still the newbie struggling to remember everyone's names when I was asked if I wanted to go on the support/survey visit to Doti and Dadeldhura. Besides popping up on headlines now and then, the last time I had much interest in either of these places was when I was memorizing them for a social studies test a few years ago. I said, Yes.

E-Pustakalaya Installation at Moti Community Library, Phalebas, Parbat
OLE Nepal’s team met Mr. Bhola Nath Sharma during a visit to install E-Pustakalaya at Moti Community Library in Phalebas, Parbat district, and was immediately impressed by his dedication to uplifting his community. The people of Phalebas have great respect for Mr. Sharma and his contributions to community development. Moti Community Library, Radio Parbat, Helping Hands Health Clinic, and Bhawani Bidyapith H.S. School are some of the institutions he currently heads. Even in his seventies, he continues to work tirelessly on community development. During our two-day stay in Phalebas, we found him engaged in meetings and events throughout the day, often advising villagers on ways to make Moti Community Library self-sustainable.

Doti school networking
After a long wait networking at Doti finally started in mid of November 2011. Initially, it was planned for June/July 2011. But heavy downpour and poor weather conditions made it impossible to work during monsoon season. All the equipments required for the networking were already in place and had been moved to the World Food Program Dadeldhura office by the end of June, making travel much lighter and hassle free (even then our luggage was overweight by 15 kg, but we were able to convince airport crew about our project and didn’t have to pay for the extra weight).
